All students will need the following essential drawing equipment and this should be purchased in advance of the start of term.  Depending on which lab group you are allocated to you may need it for the Structures Lab, which for some students will start in week 2.

A supply of complete sets will be available on a first come first serve basis from the Stores (Inglis Building, ground floor) at a cost of  £20.00.  Stores is open for private sales between 14.15 and 15.00 Monday to Friday and payment is by card only.  Should you need to replace any individual item, these will be available from the vending machine which is located in the Design and Project Office (DPO). 

The set comprises the following (full details/part numbers available here):

A full set of Databooks will be given to you at the Introductory Talks.  Databooks are needed for all four years.  Replacements cost £2 per booklet (cash) and can be obtained from the Teaching Office.


Non-compulsory costs

Language Unit trips

The cost of these optional trips for those taking language courses (which are often open to students in all years) is c. £300.

Photocopying and printing

Students are required to pay for photocopying and printing if they exceed their quota, which is designed to accommodate the majority of the requirements of the course.

Constructionarium Part IIA project

Students taking the Constructionarium are required to buy safety boots costing about £30 and contribute up to £200 towards the cost of the course.

It is hoped that this contribution will be reduced to about £100 once the sponsorship of the course is confirmed.
