Discover the shops – guided tours
At the beginning of each term, we offer guided shop tours for a class or group. This is a chance for students to meet Core Technical Centre technicians and visit all of the shop spaces.
These are 60 minutes and will give students an introduction to each shop. For Fall 2025 we have scheduled 3 times that are open to anyone:
- Friday, September 5, 2024 - 1pm
- Tuesday, September 9, 2025 - 10am
- Friday, September 12, 2025 - 1pm
- Wednesday, September 17, 2025 - 10am
If interested, meet us at EV8.775, which is the public area just outside of the DIgital Fabrication shop.
We can also schedule tours for specific classes. If interested, professors should contact joel.taylor@concordia.ca with the name of their class, number of students and their preferred date and time.
The CTC is currently open to all Faculty of Fine Arts students and faculty working on curriculum or research projects by appointment only.
Please note that the CTC is not open to the public at this time.
