UTS guided tours

UTS will lead two free tours for students attending SHAPE. 

The tours will provide students an exclusive insight into the operation of two world class facilities on the UTS campus to inspire and educate:

TOUR 1: Advanced Fabrication Research Lab

The Advanced Fabrication Research Lab is a cutting-edge facility dedicated to the creation of artefacts and prototypes. It is equipped with the latest digital tools, software and machinery. This lab is crucial in advancing research, teaching and commercial projects, establishing itself as a leader in bespoke fabrication.

TOUR 2: UTS Data Arena

This state-of-the-art space allows students to step inside a cylindrical screen, four metres high and ten metres in diameter, where advanced computer graphics create a seamless, three-dimensional panorama. 

How to book 

Confirmation on these tours going ahead and how to book will be added in November.
