Lab Use Policy Reminders:

Equipment in the RDC Fabrication Labs may only be used by RDC Lab Access Members and students enrolled in certain academic courses during our hours of operation under lab staff supervision.  All lab use must be supervised by lab staff. Student lab use outside of our RDC-lab-staff-supervised operating hours is NOT permitted.

Lab users must complete the required online training, make any relevant equipment reservations, and sign-in and check-out with lab staff on duty at the front desk of our Prototype Lab (RDC room 123) to use RDC Fabrication Lab equipment.  The RDC occasionally hosts staff-supervised tours, special events, and workshops during which approved guests are permitted to enter the labs.  All visitors must check in with staff, sign in/out, and submit any required waivers related to officially approved guest activities. For more details, please review our official lab policy document in the Lab Orientation module of the COM-HS-RDC-FabricationLabs Canvas Page.

Fundraising Merchandise Purchases:  Fundraising merchandise must be purchased by coordinating with lab staff in person or via email at rdcbuildlabs@colostate.edu to verify stock availability and allow for better communication regarding custom items or special requests. Please note that select items are only available for sale during specific promotional events as indicated on their product pages.
6. Sales Tax Notice: Please be advised that sales tax may appear as “tax exempt” on individual line items in our online store.
