Facilities
The model hall is the central making space in the heart of the faculty. Every student can visit this facility to work on their projects. On the ground floor you can find the central black desk, worktables, photo booths and our BK Green recycling cabinet. The model hall also contains the wood workshop and the CAMlab, which have mezzanines on their roofs.
Black desk
At the black desk we can help you with the following:
- You can borrow tools here (campus card as a deposit). Most tools can be borrowed overnight. Only electrical appliances need to be returned each evening and may not be taken outside the model hall.
- You can order from our materials catalogue and buy model making related items such as brushes, scale figures or pieces of wood from our onsite stock.
- Glue, old newspapers, sticks, needles or sandpaper are items which are always available and free of charge.
- You can also ask for advice.
Work tables
In general, all tables on the ground floor are available to everyone to use on a daily basis. However, each table needs to be cleared by its user at the end of each day, so it is available again the following day. Be aware that there is no storage in the model hall. Everything that is not approved or agreed upon will be discarded by the model hall staff.
Only master students who have achieved their P4 exam can reserve a table for the duration of their preparation for their final exam and leave their work on their table.
BK Green cabinet
This cabinet contains leftover materials free of charge. You can also recycle your own usable leftovers there (please no laser remains). The cabinet is located behind the black desk.
Photo booths
There are two photo booths, one white and one black.
Lights can be borrowed at the CAMlab.
Wood workshop, CAMlab and mezzanines
The glass structures within the model hall are the wood workshop and CAMlab. Looking in the direction of the restaurant, the wood workshop is to your right and the CAMlab to your left.
In the wood workshop are woodworking machines. You must receive safety instructions from an official staff member before you are allowed to operate these machines. Short videos with user instructions are available here. A full list of machines can be found here.
The CAMlab structure additionally contains the office of model hall staff, the paint room with spraybooth and two cnc milling machines. More information on the CAMlab can be found here.
On top of these glass structures are the two mezzanines. The mezzanines are mostly used for form study classes. These workspaces are not for general student use.
