Schedule an appointment
Starting Fall 2020 as part of our Make Ready plan, the AOC is moving to online only reservations for laser cutting, 3D scanning, computer lab use, 2D scanner use, and staff consultations. You cannot enter the AOC without an appointment so you must use Acuity for making appointments.
To use Acuity, use the embedded page below and select the resource you wish to use. Note, some resources have longer lead times than others. After making the appointment, you’ll get an email with information about your reservation.
Keep in mind, these AOC staff appointments are over Zoom. Do not show up to the AOC to talk to staff. You’ll meet online only.
If the embed below does not work, you can also find the schedule here: https://saicscheduling.as.me/aocstaff
