COTA Workshops

The 6,000 sqft COTA Workshop facilities include a full woodshop, metal shop, bronze and aluminum foundry, casting lab, and digital fabrication lab located in the basement of Shattuck Hall downtown Portland, Oregon on Portland State University campus. The Workshops offer students and faculty access, training, and experience with woodworking, metal fabrication, mold making and casting, laser cutting, 3D Printing, CNC routing, and more. If you are interested in learning these processes, but are concerned about not having any prior experience – we always have at least two people that are working in the Workshops that are ready to help you at any time. We can provide tutorials, technical support, and help you solve and ideate your project needs. 

Contact Emma at eduehr@pdx.edu with any questions.
