306 / Fab Lab

The Fab Lab is the Art Department’s digital fabrication facility, located in Room 306 in the Barney Building. It is available for use by all Studio Art BFA and MFA students, and by non-majors currently enrolled in a relevant department course.

The Fab Lab is home to the department’s laser cutting, vinyl cutting and 3D printing equipment, as well as an Epson 9900 large-format photo printer. All machines require a reservation.

Students MUST attend a training session before using ANY of the tools in the lab. You can schedule your training session by clicking the link below for the 306 Appointment calendars.
