Computer Labs

Teaching labs – Two labs are located in Towler Hall in rooms T105 and T108. These are Windows-based computer labs used for teaching classes and are not generally open for student use on a drop-in basis. Software installed in these two computer labs include:

• Windows 10 Education
• Microsoft Office 2016

Our windows based computer labs are (mostly) equipped with Virtual Desktop Software that allows students to customize desktops and access programs and material specifically related to the classes they are registered in.

Graphics Lab (Art 115) – This is a Macintosh lab running OS X Mojave. Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium is installed for use in web design, graphics, photography and other art classes. This computer lab is used for teaching classes, so it is not always open for drop-in use. Between scheduled classes, the lab is generally available to students for study and homework purposes.

Open Student Lab (Top floor of the Library) – The open student lab is a 30 seat lab available for student use during regular library hours. The student lab is currently open:

A Lab Monitor is usually on duty to assist students/staff/faculty if needed. Most computers in the lab run Windows 10, and have the same suite of applications found in our teaching labs. We do have Macintosh computers available in the open lab that run the same software found in our Graphics lab for study and the coursework needs of our graphics students. There is a CAD computer and a Scanner that is available and the lab offers a black and white copier/printer free for current students to use.

CAD Lab – (IMTC) The CAD lab has 18 seat lab comprised of Windows-based workstations dedicated for use in teaching AutoCAD. There is one Mac available for use in this lab. This lab may be open for current student use during open lab hours between scheduled classes. This lab also offers 3-D printing to current Drafting and CAD students.
