Authorization to Use Scene Shop
Students who wish to use the scene shop must have approval from Derek Young <Derek.Young@austin.utexas.edu>. He will give the student basic instruction on shop use and safety and require the student to sign a liability release waiver. Only construction on RTF Production courses materials will be allowed. The liability release form must include the production course number, name and instructor name.
Gaining Access to Scene Shop
After approval to use the scene shop, access is through College staff including Derek Young, Keefe Boerner, Jeremy Gruy, Susanne Kraft and Kai Tran or the CMB proctor. Student who wish to use handheld power tools must work in teams of two people or more.
Hours of Operation
The shop is only accessible during CMB Proctor hours. During the Long semesters, these hours are Monday - Thursday, 8am - 10pm, Friday 8am - 5pm, Saturday Noon - 5pm and Sunday, Noon - 8pm. Summer hours are shorter. The Shop is closed during holiday breaks and in between semesters unless other supervisory arrangements are made with college staff.
Cut Requests
The fixed power tools in the shop, such as table saw, panel saw, miter saw and drill press require UT Shop safety training. In order to ease the burden on the students, we do not require students to undergo the safety training, but instead request that the college staff assist with the cuts. Please contact Derek Young <Derek.Young@austin.utexas.edu> for assistance with these cuts. He is generally available from 8:30am - 4:30pm, Monday - Friday.
Paint & Chemicals
The shop is not considered a well ventilated space. Therefore, only water based paints and chemicals are allowed. The shop contains a utility sink with a paint trap for washing brushes and equipment. Debris and paint must never be poured into the sink.
