Students can access the following facilities based on their training and affiliation with the A&A department:

• 3X3 Wind Tunnel
• Bossart Machine Shop
• A&A Composites Lab, Structures Lab, and other equipment: Submit a Facilities Use Request to aafacilities@uw.edu
• Meeting rooms

Access prioritization

We prioritize the resources available to support the student experience as follows:

1. Curriculum and Instruction
   For example: lab-based coursework, undergraduate student capstone, and graduate student thesis/dissertation completion.  Please note these requests are processed through your course.
    
2. Faculty-led Sponsored Research
   For example: research projects funded through external sources such as grants and contracts. Please note these requests need to come through your faculty principle investigator (PI).
    
3. Department-Affiliated Extracurricular Activities (RSOs)
   For example: design-build clubs and competitions.  Please note this process is covered in the resource materials on our A&A Student Clubs and Organizations page.  Generally one facilities liaison is appointed per group.  For questions, talk to your faculty RSO advisor.
