The W. L. Hall Workshop provides equipment, facilities, staff, and instruction to College of Design students for the execution and enrichment of their educational experience. The Workshop provides a full complement of power and hand tools for the manipulation of wood and related media and a limited selection of equipment for the working of metals and other materials is also available. Workshop staff provide user assistance, training, and supervision while offering users an extensive knowledge of materials, tools, processes, and safety. Students must attend an orientation session to obtain a Shop User Card. User orientations include an introduction to the facility and staff as well as an outline of safe shop practices and equipment usage. Unsafe use of Workshop facilities or equipment may result in revocation of access to the facility.
