Vehicle Laboratory

The Vehicle Laboratory provides a flexible, hands‑on environment for students to explore automotive fabrication, composite manufacturing, and performance engineering.

About the facility

The lab's versatile capabilities cater to both artistic finishing touches and the intricate fabrication of cutting-edge composite structures.

It houses a spacious, well-ventilated booth designed for painting and manufacturing tasks involving composite materials like fibreglass and carbon fibre. Our sports engineering students have effectively employed this facility to construct lightweight carbon fibre bicycle forks and swingarms.

Moreover, the lab serves as a hub for various extracurricular clubs, including the formula student team and our lawn mower racing enthusiasts. In this dynamic space, students and club members collaborate, innovate, and apply their knowledge to diverse automotive projects.
