Workshops, labs and lockers

At UID, all workshops and labs are accessible to enrolled students 24/7, though some require special training.


4D labs and workshops

These include facilities for woodworking, metalworking, clay studio, 3D printing, milling, and laser cutting. Staff are available during office hours for support and teaching. Plan your interactions with staff as they may be scheduled for teaching. After basic training, students can access equipment they are cleared for, following safety rules:

  • Never use machines untrained.
  • Never work alone.
  • Always wear protective gear.
  • Log materials in the DOLF system.

Computer labs

UID has three computer labs: Top PC, Green PC, and Blue PC labs. Students can access these labs when not in use for scheduled education. Individual bookings are not allowed.

Lockers (workshop)

Full-time UID students are entitled to one material cabinet or workshop locker, assigned by the house technician. Only one locker per student is allowed. Additional changing room lockers can be used upon agreement with the house technician.

Materials cannot be left in lockers during internships or leaves longer than a semester. Unapproved locked lockers will be emptied. Graduating students must clear their lockers before summer. Returning students may store materials over summer with approval.

  • Your need your own lock.
  • No hazardous chemicals are allowed.
  • Empty lockers if suspending studies or during internships.
  • Clean lockers before the end of the spring semester unless otherwise approved.
  • Lockers that are locked without apporval will be emptied, and a fine will be charged.
