I'll see if we can post one of our shop at the moment... but it will only serve as a 'before' shot. We just received a large donation to improve our facilities including new dynos etc. to be completed by March. We'll have some hurdles building the car while the renovations are taking place, but we may set up a cam to do a time-lapse video in the end.
I'm genuinely excited about the next 3-4 years for our SAE teams.

This is the shop that we have had for the past year. Not sure how long we will be able to keep it, the building was scheduled for demolition this fall but it looks like we can stay for another year.
The building is at the entrance of the campus, still not a lot of people know that we have our shop there.
From the outside
The first room, right now we have the third car sitting here and the fourth car hanging on the wall.
If you go down the stairs into the second room. We have the fifth car and last year’s frame both waiting for a rebuild. This is also acting as our welding room.
The third room acts as a sort of office and lunch room.
We have a small storage room behind the black wall with some tires and some metal.
The fourth room is just more storage.
We also have access to a machine shop with two manual mills and two manual lathes. There are also a 4-axis CNC lathe and a 3-axis CNC mill that we can use some times. The bad part is that it´s at the other side of campus so it takes about 15 min to walk there.

we're pretty lucky in terms of the size of our workshop. We got relocated in 2007 and the building we got was formerly a student common room. It's 2 stories: upstairs is the office, electrons and an area that's not really ours but we use it for meetings and as a "quiet area"; and downstairs we have assembly, fabrication, welding, machining, composites room and engine room. The one thing it doesn't have that would be awesome is a shower. We had access to one at our old workshop, but these days we just smell bad instead.
When we first moved in:
Assembly area earlier this year (managed to find a home for most of the old cars since then)
Office. We've got lots of old computers with LCD screens because one of our electrons convinced the ECE department to give us the computers they were disposing of
Where we keep the electrons:
Engine room:
Fabrication:
Machining room (there's a welding bay and a small grinding/sanding room to the left)
It's all pretty messy at the moment but that happens around this time of the year.
Dear god, that workspace is HUGE! (Both to Alumasteel and Malcolm G)
And Alumasteel, I believe we share the same Bridgeport.

I can see why. They are good machines for what they are and seem to last forever. I know ours has seen some stuff, but still works fine.Originally posted by overdrive535:
