These two facilities will do design and fabrication jobs for you. They can provide technical assistance in design and also offer labor and machine time. If you think you may have special needs, you should go and talk to the managers of these facilities. It is very likely that they have come across your problem before and even if not, they may have some excellent suggestions. LASSP also runs a graduate student machine shop (managed by Nate Ellis, 255-3951) that graduate students and other researchers can use.
Both of these facilities also have stockrooms that carry inventories of general-purpose items for any laboratory, like nuts and bolts and common materials like cold rolled steel, aluminum, etc.
The LASSP stockroom also carries items for simple electrical circuits like BNC cables, resistors, capacitors, some common chips, common parts, and adhesives. If you think you need something in your lab for research, it's very likely that the LASSP stockroom will have it. See CLICK HERE for more information. You might also check with the Technical Operations Laboratory in LASSP, or the Newman laboratory stock room (255-3355).
