The GIT shops are contained within the ETAS Annex. The building is divided into the following areas:
Fabrication Shop
The fab shop is a fully operational machine shop with two vertical mills, two lathes, drill presses, saws, and grinders, as well as a small parts sand blaster. The primary function of this shop is to produce parts and assemblies to support research and development both on and off campus.
