The four areas comprise an electrical and electronic design and prototyping suite, high voltage (HV) testing area, PCB manufacturing area, and maker space.

• The design and prototyping suite is configured to accommodate both individual and group projects using an innovative benching solution pioneered at Southampton; the benches are equipped with highly specified test equipment from industry leaders, powerful PCs, and the equipment is arranged to offer best of class ergonomics.
• The area also includes an 86” interactive display for design presentations and brainstorming.
• The HV testing area provides facilities for breakdown, impulse ageing and conductivity testing.
• The PCB manufacturing area contains tools for the complete process from PCB fabrication to assembly and rework; tools include fabrication machine, pick-and-place machine, reflow oven, rework stations and inspection equipment. The maker space contains a panoply of tools for additive and subtractive manufacturing combining more established tools with the latest in 3D-printing, laser cutting and moulding technology.
