How do you make a tool? Click on the hammer and we'll take you on a tour of the Hammer Lab!

In The Natural Science Shop, which is located in the Olin Science building, we build, design, or repair many different types of research equipment and scientific apparatus. These are used in class labs and for scientific research. A shop lab is taught as part of the Physics Introductory Laboratory. There are welding and sheet metal capabilities, as well as woodworking. A student shop is also available for use.

SAFETY is our main priority.

"It takes a little longer to do it right.
It takes a lot longer to do it again."
