Testimonial
“As a Master of Digital Media student, I found myself in need of plenty equipment and technology as I completed my Major Research Project. I found myself spending a lot of time in the Collaboratory not only because they have access to a Laser Cutter, 3D Printers, and SLA printers, but also because it proved to be a valuable work environment to complete my project without interferences. As a result, joining the Collab has proven to be one of the best decisions I made since I started my Master’s program.”
