The NDU Workshop is available to NDU students and faculty. In the workshop facilities, students build models as part of their coursework and carry out their semester and final projects using both analog and digital manufacturing processes.

The workshop staff assists students as they work on their projects.

To use the workshops, students must complete an introductory course and demonstrate knowledge of and compliance with the workshop rules.

Additional Facilities

In the screen printing workshop, students not only produce high-quality posters, books, and graphic artworks, but also print their own designs onto textiles—such as T-shirts or cloth bags.

Items created in the workshops can be photographed under professional conditions in the NDU photo studio.

In the audio and video lab, students practice sound mixing, audio editing, and video editing, and produce music, videos, and digital special effects; a soundproof voice-over booth ensures optimal audio recordings. In-house event equipment—rigging, speakers, spotlights, etc.—is available to NDU “Event Engineers” at all times, even outside of class. As a result, even student parties at NDU shine with high-quality sound, opulent lighting effects, and professional execution.

NDU students are also permitted, following appropriate training, to use all of WIFI Lower Austria’s workshops and carry out their projects there. The basement of the shared building houses, among other facilities, a metalworking shop, an injection molding and plastics processing workshop, as well as electronics, robotics, and digitalization labs. Another unique feature is the WIFI forge, where iron is forged using fire, a hammer, and an anvil according to ancient, traditional methods. At the St. Pölten Center for Technology and Design, medieval technology thus literally meets 21st-century technology; in many student projects, both are even used simultaneously.
