The Hering lab, 1220 SC, and Elder lab, 1231 SC, are on the first floor of the Seamans Center. Together the labs have 124 computers: 104 Windows XP computers and 20 Linux workstations. There are four color scanners connected to Windows computers, two in Elder (north and south) and two in Hering (north and south). Each lab has two laser printers for printing output from Linux or Windows applications.
Both labs are open 24 hours/day, 7 days/week except when CSS closes a lab for cleaning or maintenance.
The Henry Electronic Classroom, 1245 SC, has 33 Windows computers, 32 for students and 1 for the instructor. When that room is not used by a scheduled class, it can be used as computer lab space by any Engineering computer account holder. See also the use policy, the reservation form, and the current semester's room schedule. Read about the equipment in 1245.
In the Elder and Hering labs there is a mix of Linux and Windows : 20 Linux workstations and 104 Windows computers. There are different models of workstations, with different CPUs, speeds, amounts of RAM, and peripherals (e.g., CD-ROM, CD/DVD burner, DVD-ROM, Firewire, USB).
