Workshop Closure

 

We will be closing the George Porter Workshop from 3pm Friday 4th August as we pack up and move to our new premises. As you can appreciate, the move is a huge operation that will require the workshop team to pack, move, and make the new space safe and functional, ready for the start of the academic year. This means the facilities will be out of use after closing on Fri 4th Aug for the rest of the summer. Please see alternative provisions below. 

We look forward to welcoming you back to our new and improved space.

Have a lovely summer 

Stuart, Sara and Luke

Summer Opening

Over the summer period we will be operating a booking service again for all workshop facilities including the laser cutters, machine shop & materials shop. All bookings can be made here.

Due to us relocating the workshop to a new location (more info to follow), annual leave and area setups there will be some periods of closure.  If you can book, we are open!
 
We will be fully closing to pack up in the middle of July. (Exact date to be confirmed)
If you need to contact us for any information or advice please email, as we may be away from our desks and the office:  matworks@sheffield.ac.uk

All graduating students are unfortunately not insured after the exhibition has started so cannot access the area, but all others are welcome.

On a final note.

We would really appreciate it if you can take a moment to help us gather feedback to help the workshop improve its services and what we offer?

Simply answer a few simple questions, we promise it won't take long.

The form can be found HERE. Thanks in advance.

Have a relaxing break, we are looking forward to seeing you all back in September in our new workshop. (keep an eye out for more info)

If we don't see you again, we would like to wish you every success and happiness.

Stuart, Sara & Luke
