Discover the shops – guided tours
At the beginning of each term, we offer guided shop tours for a class. This is a chance for students to meet Core Technical Centre technicians and visit all of the shop spaces.
These are 60 minutes and will give your class an introduction to the Digital Fabrication shop, Wood shop and Metal shop. Professors should contact joel.taylor@concordia.ca with the name of their class, number of students and their preferred date and time.
The CTC is currently open to all Faculty of Fine Arts students and faculty working on curriculum or research projects by appointment only.
Please note that the CTC is not open to the public at this time.
