Architecture and Built Environment Workshop (ABEW)
2010 saw the opening of this workshop, located only metres away from the Architecture Design Studio building.
Once inducted, students are taught to use to a range of high-end machinery, giving them the opportunity to realise their design projects, working with timber, metal and plastic within a single space.
The School has invested in the latest prototyping technologies including a 10-tool CNC router, a fully-automated vacuum former and a large-format laser cutter (that can cut up to 25mm acrylic) to provide the best opportunity to create the highest quality of models.
Our team of experienced workshop technicians have extensive knowledge and expertise across a wide range of materials and processes. The workshop team includes educators, fabricators, electronics specialists, CAD specialists, carpenter joiners, designers and furniture makers.
