Reviewers' Notebook: Physical Facilities
From CSWiki
The Computer Science Department moved into wonderful, new facilities in late May, 2007. Some highlights of our new quarters include:
- An introductory teaching lab and open lab, available on an extensive schedule (until midnight or 1:00 am most nights).
- An AI and Capstone Lab for student projects.
- A Systems Lab that allows experimentation with networking and operating systems, in an environment that will not bring the campus network down when experiments turn out differently than anticipated.
- A regular classroom for non-lab-based courses.
- Two student study areas and a CS Commons
- Four faculty research labs that are sufficiently large to support student teams.
- Faculty offices, display cases, a print room, and other supporting pieces.

Computer Equipment and A/V Support
All teaching labs, our classroom, and our research labs utilize Linux-based workstations that are connected through our departmental network (MathLAN) to departmental servers and the campus Internet backbone.
Audio/visual facilities in each teaching lab and our classroom support a built-in desktop machine, DVD/VRC player, laptop connection, and CD player. A control panel allows switching from one system to another at the touch of a button.
