Explore our labs and studios virtually.

At CETA, students have a unique hands-on learning experience through well-equipped labs, studios, classrooms, and collaborative spaces. Core classes for our engineering, technology, and architecture programs are in the Hursey Center, United Technologies Hall, Dana Hall, and Harry Jack Gray Center. Throughout these buildings are where you will also find faculty offices and collaborative space to use.

Discover the spaces for you to expand your imagination, creativity, and skills and check out our labs and studios below through our image galleries.

Explore our programs

Makerspace

On the 3rd floor of United Technologies Hall, you will find our well-equipped Makerspace (UT 320) where you can work on your next project. Here, students can utilize tools, 3D printers, scanners, CNC (Computer Numeric Control) machines, and soon-to-be installed lockers for you to create and store their prototypes. There is a designated area for you to use power tools that will require safety goggles, whereas the rest of the room will be an open collaboration area to allow students to work with light tools and rolling whiteboards.

Architecture Labs and Studios

If you’re an architectural design + technology major, you’ll be spending much of your time in the Harry Jack Gray Center where our architecture labs and studios are located. Adjacent to our library, bookstore, and Joseloff Gallery, immerse yourself into our exciting architecture studio space. Within the studios, you will also find our popular computer laboratory, wood shop, and digital fabrication suite.

Engineering and Technology Labs and Studios

Have the chance to work in the machinery and power systems laboratory, the manufacturing metrology laboratory, the acoustics laboratory, the audio studios, or even the robotics laboratories! Located in United Technologies Hall and Dana Hall, our engineering and technology classrooms, labs and studios are regularly updated and stay equipped with:

  • the latest technology and new software currently used by industry
  • digital and overhead projectors
  • television equipment regularly maintained by Media Technology Services
