The shop includes a variety of traditional woodworking equipment as well as a 50-watt laser cutter connected to the College of Architecture and Design network to give students the opportunity to bridge the gap between the virtual and physical, as AutoCAD and Corel files can be transferred directly when creating detailed models in wood, cardboard, or Plexiglas.
