Project Initiation

Before using any of the lab facilities, a “Project Initiation” form must be completed and placed in the Project binder in the lab. The form ensures that the lab use policy has been read, and that appropriate certifications have been obtained (e.g. for use of the table and band saws) before a project begins. It also provides lab coordinators with a record of who is using the lab, and contact information. Questions or concerns can be directed to the following lab coordinators:
