What kit can I borrow?

An extensive array of equipment is available in addition to the fixed equipment listed here.

Please bear in mind that the way technical services operate is as a collaboration; we're not just a kit room; we expect you to come to us early in your project life cycle and work with our team to validate the need for the equipment.

If you have suggestions for new products we should get, please email cci.technical@arts.ac.uk, and we'll consider it.

You are responsible for looking after and returning the equipment before you finish your course. The equipment must be returned to the correct building. We use a colour code on the labels to help everyone remember which item goes in which building.
