The Department of Design’s Print Lab is a shared space; hence students are expected to clean up their workspace after any equipment use and return materials to their designated areas. Maintaining an organized and respectful environment ensures that everyone can benefit from these shared resources. 

All 3D printing operations must be completed by 7:00 PM, as overnight or unattended prints are not permitted for safety and security reasons. 

Hayes Hall Room 208 embodies the Department of Design’s commitment to hands-on learning, collaboration, and creative exploration. Students are encouraged to use the space to experiment, refine their craft, and bring their design ideas to life with the support of their peers and technicians.
