Materials
The Design Studio is equipped for all kinds of making, building, creating, experimenting, and inquiring. We use a wide range of materials and technologies.
Before using any tools, technologies, or materials, please check with the Head of Design or Design Technician.
Review these for the safe handling and disposal of any material you use in the studios.

Use of materials
In general, most materials are available for use.
However, for large projects, or non-design course project, materials may need to be purchased. In many cases we have the material and will ask that you just replace it with the same or something similar.
We don’t accept cash.
Materials need to be replaced with materials. Always ask before using materials, and check the MSDS
