Our digitally enhanced classrooms and labs have many features. Presenters and instructors may utilize an installed computer or bring their own and connect with provided adapters. There are eight public labs that feature Windows systems and enterprise software听including Office 365, Windows 10, and Adobe CC. Black and white printing and scanning services are also provided in the public labs and Library. For those that prefer iMacs, they are conveniently located in the Library.听 Campus labs are located in Roush Hall, Towers Hall, the Art & Communication Building, the Science Center, and the Library. In addition, there are numerous departmental labs with curriculum-specific software installed. Students do not need to purchase potentially expensive curriculum software for their own computing systems and may use the departmental labs outside instruction time for this purpose.
