Materials Laboratory
The Materials Laboratories, comprising the Advanced Fibre Composite Laboratory, the Alternative Sand Laboratory and the Shared Workshop, support the development of alternative construction materials.
The Advanced Fibre Composite Laboratory supports research on innovative organic fibres. The Alternative Sand Laboratory supports research on reclaimed materials from otherwise wasted building rubble. Finally, the Shared Workshop is a collaborative production space equipped with CNC-router, laser cutters and wood-processing machines.
