Wood shop

Core technical centre
The Core Technical Centre (CTC) houses facilities and technical expertise for woodworking, metal work, digital fabrication and much more. The CTC is currently open to all Faculty of Fine Arts students and faculty working on curriculum or research projects.
We're here to help you
At the Core Technical Centre (CTC), our technical staff are available to assist you either in person or virtually. Please remember that all in-person access is by appointment only and will be booked by a technician during a consultation.

Come see what's available
At the beginning of the semester, we will have guided shop tours every Tuesday at 1pm. This is a chance for students to meet Core Technical Centre technicians and visit all of the shop spaces.
No reservation is necessary, just meet in the atrium outside the new Digital fabrication space (1515 Rue Sainte-Catherine Ouest EV8.763).
