Making Facilities for Students
- 9th Floor Making Facility – Students who have taken the Integrative Studio 1 will have received an orientation to the making facility and workspace in room 901 and 902 in 2 west 3th street. The shop includes various tools for wood, metal and plastic construction as well as tools for soft materials such as sewing machines, irons, etc. If your projects necessitate the use of tools such as these please be certain that your students have the appropriate sticker on their New School ID which indicates that they have been cleared to use the shop.
- E403 Lab – Students can get an orientation to the E-403 resource lab, which includes a range of laser cutters, 3D printers, and a large-scale fabric cutter. “The new E-403 lab is open to all Parsons students as a resource to further invention and prototyping of designs.” After an orientation, students can sign up to use the space as they need for projects. They can access the sign up for orientation at the link above.
