CHRISTMAS

OPENING HOURS

Queries have started coming in, so here are our Christmas break opening hours:

Friday 16th December 16:00 - Tuesday 3rd January 09:00 CLOSED

Tuesday 3rd January - Friday 13th January 09:00 - 16:00


CLEAR OUT

During the break we will be having a thorough clear out and tidy up. Anything that is not stored on racking AND clearly labelled to keep until next term (January 16th 2016) will be recycled, reused or disposed of.

Help us to keep your area clean by clearing out both your wanted and unwanted items before 4:00pm Friday 16th December.

Please place all reusable materials on the recycling racks, the storage racking is for models in progress only due to the limited space!

Student Printing @ George Porter

A new printer has arrived for your use and is located @ the George Porter Cafe.

This should be a convenient location for printing out last minute plans and sketches for model making!

TUESDAY 4th OCTOBER 2016

The Workshop will be CLOSED all day on Tuesday 4th October 2016.

Staff will be undertaking training so will not be available on site.



Tool kits and drill kits are available from the Print Unit on the 15th Floor at the Arts Tower.


Thank You!

Payment Upgrades

George Porter Workshops are now CASHLESS! In line with the University aim for a cashless campus we  are no longer accepting payment by cash. This also creates a safer working environment for staff.

Payment can still be taken by CREDIT or DEBIT card, for transactions over £3. 

NEW for 2016 we are accepting payment via Ucard. There is no minimum transaction charge and your card can be quickly topped up online here.

You  can also pay in advance for your laser cutting here via the online store.

This also means that you can spend your print credits for materials and services at the workshop.

New Virtual Facilities Tour

We have a new Sheffield School of Architecture virtual tour available, click HERE to take a look!

Workshop Closure beginning 12th September...

The last of this year's exhibition is due to come down week beginning 12th September 2016. After that all of the studios need to be reconfigured for the coming year.

Workshop staff will be playing a key role in making this happen, so the workshop will be closed for a maximum of 5 days beginning Monday 12th September 2016.

We do not envisage having to close for the entire week, so please check back for an update if you would like to visit the workshop next week!

Thank You!

North Campus Cafe has reopened!

Great news for the new academic year, North Campus Cafe has reopened after extensive building works @ George Porter over the last 12 months.

This means we now offer somewhere convenient to relax and eat away from the workshop.

Workshop Closure

The workshop will be closed for servicing and maintenance:

Friday 19th August 4 pm - Tuesday 30th August 11 am

Hand tools and drill kits will be available from the Arts Tower Print unit.



Thank You!

Closure for Graduation

The Workshop will be closed for Graduation preparations from 10:30 Tuesday 19th July until 13:30 Wednesday 20th July. Thank You!

New floor underway in the Digital workshop

Room emptied and ready for repairs!

Floor repaired, ready for new tiles!

Nearly finished!

Week beginning Monday 27th June

The Lasers and Machine shop will be closed for around 3 days beginning next Monday.

Due to persistent issues with the flooring in the laser room the the covering for the entire area needs to be removed and replaced. Obviously this means that the area needs to be cleared for this to happen.

Bookings have been blocked for the next 4 days (Friday - Wednesday) to allow this to happen. As soon as the work is completed we will be able to re-open laser bookings.

The shop and hand tool workshop will be unaffected.

Thanks!

Exhibition Week (13.06 - 17.06)

Preliminary plans are for the workshop to be closed the week leading up to the exhibition.

This is to allow staff to fabricate new structures and set up boards.If everything runs smoothly we will be able to re-open, but please do not leave anything important for this week.

I strongly advise any model making or base fabrication that you need for the exhibition is done next week!

Tuesday 31st May 2016

Please be aware that the workshop will be closed for the morning of 31st of May to facilitate the 6th Year exam set up.

We plan to re-open at 13:30. If not I will update here, so please check before coming down!
