Our Mission and Vision
To help each student increase their knowledge in all aspects of the Student Shop.
We teach you how to machine, not what to machine.
Students are encouraged to speak with Steve Earp, Greg Bumpass, or Mikey Hauser for assistance on project machining procedures or if they have any problematic situations.
Student Shop Upcoming Closed Days/Hours
The Student Shop will be closed on the following dates, as well as for any posted special safety training reservation times. All of these dates/times will be posted on our machine calendar pages during the Fall 2025 semester.
November 25, 2025 - November 30, 2025, Thanksgiving Holiday,
December 15, 2025 - January 7, 2026, Christmas Break
These dates do not include all scheduled meetings we will be attending. Please review our machine calendar pages for any additional Student Shop closures on any given day during the week.
No new student project work will be allowed to begin during the final full week of the Fall semester, December 1 - 5, 2025.
Safety Training in the Student Shop
Safety training for the Fall 2025 semester is now completed for most Pratt students.
There will be a few Pratt courses that will reserve their Part Two Safety Training times later in the Fall semester.
Only students enrolled in these specific courses will be allowed to take our safety test during these designated course reservation times.
Any of these special safety training reservations will be posted on our machine calendars pages. This allows everyone to know when the Student Shop will be closed for these special coursework reservation requests.
After September 12th, 2025, only enrolled students in these requested courses will be allowed to attempt our safety training at that time.
When you have passed Safety Training, please remember to pick up your Student Shop Badge in the Student Shop within a few days after your training is completed
MACHINE RESERVATION REQUIREMENT
Students are required to attach a JPEG photo (we cannot view .HEIC or .PVT files) of their Student Shop badge to any machine reservation they request.
This is a requirement for every student reserving any machine in the Student Shop.
All student reservations received without a photo of their Student Shop badge attached will be declined.
No exceptions
Any student group using or attempting to reserve more than 2 machines at one time may have those additional reservations revoked to allow other Pratt students access and use of those machines.
