- The Monadelphous ILC will be housed in the MPSL building and will open in March 2010.
- It will be a unique student-owned, student-run workshop and design studio.
- It will simulate a professional workplace in which students may pursue advanced projects in collaboration with industry.
- The MILC will have two levels: a Prototype & Testing Centre (workshop) on the ground floor and a Project Management Centre (design studio) on the first floor.
- Both floors will support student team work by providing flexible partitions, storage and moveable furniture.
Prototype & Testing Centre (ground floor)
- The ground floor will be a workshop with light prototyping facilities: drill presses, CNC mill and lathe, grinding, woodwork, metal folding, welding, hand tools and so on. Every bench will have generous storage space and lockers built in. A duty supervisor will supervise student use of tools during scheduled hours.
