The Machine Shop (includes hand tools, carpentry shop, and welding shop) can only be used when staff are present, regardless of training. Machine shop projects may have to be rescheduled if staff are not available, are busy with other projects, or feel they cannot safely help with a particular project.

Use of the Machine Shop requires annual training through UIC BioRAFT and initial orientation with staff. All users must check in every time they use the Machine Shop. Training Link: https://uic.bioraft.com/node/1967547
