Hello all and welcome to another academic year at B.15 in MSA.
Hope you’ve all had a relaxing summer. Here are a few updates for this academic year for you:
New Staff Member
Please join us in welcoming Teagan Dorsch to the team. We’ll be doing a short feature on Teagans experience via our Instagram feed soon. Teagan will be leading on CNC related requests as well as covering all areas like the rest of the team.
Newly refurbished workshop space
Throughout the summer we have been very busy with yet more building works to improve, refurbish and expand the workshop space.
In short, all staff only equipment is now located in a separate workspace thus meaning more space for student projects. We have a newly configured machine space with new custom made efficient dust extraction system.
The CNC machine is now contained within an enclosed sound proofed area to reduce noise when it’s in operation.
There is now a dedicated recycled materials space to allow for increased and more organised use of recycled materials wherever possible.
Upgraded model archive/store
Our model archive and current projects store has had a make-over with the addition of a full length window. This now allows the collection to be viewed any time and provides additional inspiration throughout the year when passing between B.15 and B.12.
