ARC LAB is operating in a dedicated space at the department of architecture of the University of Nicosia. The Workshop is a University facility containing Digital prototyping equipment, tools, and machinery, which individual students or groups of students can use to produce architectural models and prototypes at their request. The use of the technologies is part of the MSc in Computational Design and Digital Fabrication and several other courses within the architectural and interior programs. F-LAB hosts a large open-type laser cutting machine, a 3-Axis CNC milling machine, and three FDM 3D printers along with a large series of Hand tools and Power Tools. Staff currently consists of three trained operators and two student assistants under the general supervision of a Fabrication Lab Manager and an Academic Coordinator.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The mission of the Department of Architecture is to create critical thinkers, who are intellectually acute, socially aware, and technically skilled architects\/designers that can meaningfully contribute to contemporary architectural\/design discourse. A strong design-based education equips students with both a hands-on approach and advanced knowledge and understanding of cutting-edge technologies.<\/p>\n
The Department acknowledges the importance of constructing a unique identity by catering for diversity in architectural and design education, where global discussions merge with local conditions such as culture, climate, local market\/industry and social needs.<\/p>\n
Ecological and sustainable thinking are highly valued, providing the necessary tools of context, comprehension and application of social, environmental and cultural aspects.<\/p>\n

The Department of Architecture<\/span> holds student opinions and feedback in high esteem. Consequently there are a number of ways of collecting this information.<\/p>\n At the end of each semester, the University offers online course evaluations to each registered student in every course. These anonymous evaluations are read, collated, and discussed by the relevant Heads, Deans, and other faculty and staff.<\/p>\n The Department of Architecture<\/span> gathers systematic feedback from students regarding the manner in which the program of studies is delivered. This feedback is gathered through questionnaires, group discussions and individual contact. This information is of great value to the department and is submitted for the annual review of the programs taught.<\/p>\n At the beginning or middle of each semester, the department convenes a Board of Studies meeting, where students are invited to voice constructive feedback about the curriculum, academic issues and overall course instruction. Individual issues should be brought to the appropriate faculty member or to the Head of the Department.<\/p>\n The Department of Architecture maintains two Facebook pages (one for each programme), where events and information are regularly posted. Students are encouraged to upload photographs and comment on recent events and topics.<\/p>\n The Department also has an Instagram page and a LinkedIn page.<\/p>\n Please visit the pages and follow us to stay updated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\nUniversity-Wide Student Evaluation Reports<\/strong><\/h3>\n
