Mixlab
The Mixlab, located next to the Winter Garden in Campus Mutsaard, is a 'maker space' available to all Academy students. They have an expanding collection of equipment that includes digital 3d printers, laser cutters, textile transfer printers, a press, a 3d scanner, a glass oven and knitting machines. It is a space for workshops, a hub for students from all departments. Besides this, the Academy also has an advanced wood atelier and a print lab.
 

Student restaurant
Academy canteen Komida at Campus Mutsaardstraat has a heart for sustainability and affordability. They offer daily vegetarian meals and mostly have vegan options too. The vegetables in their salads and sandwiches are seasonal, the fish they prepare is caught and cultivated in a sustainable manner and they only use bio meat. Komida uses an exchange system for their packaging: you can choose from reusable glass pots for salads, a lunch box for sandwiches or a reusable coffee cup. They are open every weekday between 9am and 3pm, but students are welcome all day to meet, study, play the piano or the football table and get a freshly brewed coffee from the machine. Komida has free wi-fi and only accepts electronic payments.

The Komida@Stadscampus restaurant of the University of Antwerp is also accessible to Academy students. It is located around the corner at Koningstraat 8 and opens every weekday between 11:45am and 1:45pm.

Besides these, some of Antwerp's best sandwich and coffee bars, restaurants or supermarkets are to be found in the area around Campus Mutsaardstraat.
