Workshops

Experimentation with materials, prototyping, testing, craft explorations and learning while making is an integral part of the design culture at CEPT University.

The safety of students, faculty, staff and visitors is a priority in every activity. The Workshops provide resources such as equipment, facilities, staff support and instruction to all students and faculty of CEPT University for exploration and investigation into material based research.

The Workshops’ main building is located near the Faculty of Design building covering about 7100 sq. ft. The main building houses Wood, Metal, Ceramic, Textiles and the Fab-Lab facilities. The Workshops’ annexure is located near the Faculty of Architecture building covering about 1100 sq. ft. and is dedicated to model making activities.

The Workshop resources are focused on supporting students to make high quality models, prototypes and innovative products by providing:

•    Orientation to safety procedures
•    Accessibility and technical support
•    Coaching to develop skills
•    Celebrate novel outcomes and
•    Augment facilities continually

The safety of students, faculty, staff and visitors is a principal consideration in every activity. The Workshop provides equipment, facilities, staff, mentoring and support to all students and faculty of CEPT University and members for innovation through material-based research.

The workshop, spread over 11,625 sq. ft, is equipped with state-of-the-art computer controlled (CNC) machines, including a 3-axis milling machine, 3D printer, laser cutter, electric kilns, weaving looms, a wide array of traditional metal and woodworking machinery with a range of power and hand tools.

The workshop is staffed with technicians, faculty and experts who instruct and guide students in the use of the equipment. This will help students bring their projects to life, from model making to full-size construction of furniture and architectural elements.
