Student Computing Labs → Scheduling Classes in IS-Managed Labs


Information Services (IS) manages two computer labs that can be reserved for classes that require computers.

These labs are located in:

  • Royall Hall (RH) room 303, and
  • The Health Sciences Building (HSB) room 3304.

Scheduling Classes

Information Services strives to assist faculty with their classroom needs while also meeting the needs of the majority of the student body.  Please remember that these sites are first and foremost General Use Student Computer Labs.

  • On the Volker Campus, the Royall Hall room 303 lab has 24 workstations.
  • On the Hospital Hill Campus, the HSB room 3304 lab has 30 workstations.

These rooms are subject to all IS lab policies.
