This total is provided to you on the receipt issued by our RDC fabrication lab staff, which includes the final amount due with all applicable taxes calculated.

Note to CSU Departments: If you would like to purchase lab access memberships through a CSU department, do not use a P-card and this store front for purchases.

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.
