The Department of Computer Science maintains a comprehensive laboratory environment to support teaching and learning.  Our labs are equipped with current technologies and provide a flexible computing environment intended to give students the opportunity to learn and experiment with a wide variety of hardware and software tools commonly used in industry.  The labs also serve to foster community among Computer Science students as a central space to gather and collaborate on course work and projects.
