Entrance Hall, Main Corridor

• Display of student design work and models
• Continuous slide displays of students' field and laboratory work and architectural topics

Computer Laboratory

The school's General Robotics CD/X300 computer will be continuously in operation. The public will be offered the opportunity to use a number of simple programmes and thereby familiarise themselves with the facility. Staff and students will be on hand to explain some of its applications in architecture.

Design Laboratory

Displays of students work

Short films on architectural topics on the hour, every hour.

Between films, the public will be invited to take part in an experiment on the subjective appraisal of lighting conditions and furniture arrangements in study bedrooms.

Lighting Laboratory

Continuous demonstrations of the Effulger. This is a partitioned space within which a wide range of natural or artificial lighting conditions may be simulated for research purposes. Visitors will be able to observe ways in which the appearance of familiar objects can be influenced. Other equipment will be used to demonstrate the effects of the directional qualities of lighting, and for comparative studies of different electric light sources.

Accoustics Laboratory

Continuous demonstration of electronic apparatus which reproduces sources of noise, and simulates the effects of architectural controls and room reverberation characteristics. The public will be able to experience the sound quality of speech or music under a wide range of conditions.

Materials Laboratory

Static displays of odometer and shear box testing

Main Laboratory Floor

The wind tunnel and flow visualiser equipment will be set up to provide a simulation of the urban wind velocity profile. Models to demonstrate standard hazard situations will be on display. Within the tunnel a model of the central campus of the university will be on display. Each hour, on the half hour, the flow visualisation capabilities of the wind tunnel will be demonstrated using the model. Immediately following the wind tunnel demonstration, the beam testing rig will be used to test a reinforced concrete beam under reversed loading Static displays of other equipment. Urban simulation models will be on display on the mezzanine floor.

Courtyard

Continuous displays of surveying equipment. The public will be offered some basic instruction in surveying techniques.

Main Laboratory Mezzanine and Basement

Continuous displays and demonstrations of bricklaying, framing and jointing. The water table for air flow visualisation in and around buildings will also be on display.
