Learn about what technology is available, pricing of materials, as well as specifications for getting your project created.

Cost

  • Students are charged for materials only unless the materials are incorporated into a class fee (then there is no charge)

  • Employees are charged for materials or labor (when materials are provided by employees). The labor is $15 an hour. This charge directly benefits the Design Center and subsidizes the cost of materials.
