The Art & Architecture Shop (Rooms 1251 & 2230) is a 6,000-square-foot fabrication space that serves the students, staff, and faculty of the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and the Stamps School of Art & Design. “The Shop” is your first stop for getting your hands on woodworking machinery and hand tools. It also offers equipment for working with metals and plastics. The Shop is a vital incubator space for all kinds of fabrication, from simple material preparations to sophisticated design models. Visit the A&A Shop Site for more information.
Your Studio Coordinators are Ken Kalchik (kalchik@umich.edu) and Carly Lowe (carlyl@umich.edu).
Access
All users must complete in-person Shop Orientation (1 hour) and Proficiency Training (1.5 hours) in order to access the Shop. Training may be scheduled to take place as part of your new student orientation or classwork, or you may sign up individually via the A&A Shop Site.
Please keep in mind that “training” in the Shop never stops. Our staff are always on hand for consultation and advice as to the safest and most effective way to proceed.
The Shop’s Hours and Calendar are available on the A&A Shop Site.
