Workshop Facilities at The Oxford School of Archtecture
The Oxford School of Architecture hosts a wide range of fabrication facilities that encourage physical making of all kinds.
We give students access to the tools and expertise needed to explore, prototype, and refine their architectural designs through physical interaction.
Whether crafting precise models or engaging in creative experimentation, our facilities empower innovation, technical skill, and hands-on learning at every stage of the design process.
