Other issues
• There are five years of students at any time (3 year BEng, 4 year MEng plus 1 year MSc)
• Total student population is about 900, every one of whom will use the lab in some way.
• Safety is very important – some machines can only be used under supervision
• Students will work with wood, metal, foam, plastics, paints and electronic components
• There will be a separate CSD computing suite elsewhere in the buildings
• Wireless networking will be entirely feasible

What we really want
• To inspire our students to be creative, rigorous, imaginative and hard-working
• To inspire staff to want to work in a stimulating environment
