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 you have any problematic situations.
Student Shop Upcoming Closed Days/Hours
We will be closed on March 6, 2026 through the end of Spring Break.
We will reopen on March 16, 2026, at 8:30 a.m.
Please review our Student Shop hours page for more information on our extended open times.
The above dates do not include any scheduled meetings we need to attend, and where the Student Shop will also be closed.
Please review our machine calendar pages for any additional Student Shop closures on any given day during the week.
New student project work will NOT be allowed to be started during the final full week of the Spring semester, April 15 - 22, 2026.
Safety Training in the Student Shop
Our Part One test is only available for specific Pratt courses on Canvas for the Spring 2026 semester until the posted test close date of March 16, 2026.
Part Two testing will only be offered to those specific Pratt courses after January 30, 2026.
These specific courses will have a reservation date/time scheduled for just those students to attempt part two in the Student Shop.
The these special dates/times for our Part Two test will be viewable on all our machine calendar pages when I am notified by the instructor of the requested testing for their course. No student project work will be allowed during these special testing times.
If you are a Pratt student who failed or missed out on taking our safety training in the Spring 2026 semester, you can attempt to take it in the Fall 2026 semester.
Available Dates/Times for attempting our Part Two testing during the Fall 2026 semester will be posted on our machine calendar pages.
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.
