Does Waterloo have Scientific Glassblowing? Also misc questions.

[r691175002]

Does anyone know what kind of facilities Waterloo has for working with glass? I figure most universities that have a chemistry program will have some form of scientific glassblowing but I can't find any information about it online. Are students allowed to use the torches/equipment? Also, is the machine shop available for student use?

And some weirder questions. Are aquariums allowed in the dorms (St. Jerome's). I was thinking of setting up a ~5 gallon tank. If possible I would like to go high tech with compressed CO2.

The Faculty of Science has an in-house glassblowing shop. I don't know what the deal is with student use. You really should phone them. Same for StJ and aquariums.

The student machine shop in E3 is open to Engineering students. If you are in another program, just find someone in Eng to give you a crash course through walk-in -> sign the log -> use tools process. If it looks like you should be there, no-one will question you. Social Engineering is easy
