Labs / Facilities Answers
Who can use engineering labs?
Access to all computing labs in the College of Engineering is limited to students currently enrolled (or taking classes) in the College of Engineering, and by faculty and staff in support of the instruction of these students.
Some labs are considered special-purpose and have greater restrictions. Check the ITS Labs Database or access posting near the door of the lab for more information.
When are labs open?
Lab hours are generally posted near the door of the lab and on the ITS Labs Database.
How do I reserve a lab?
Lab reservations are coordinated through the department that manages a particular lab. In most cases this is the main department that is located in the building where the lab is located. If you are unsure who to contact, call Engineering Computing Support Services at 4-5313 for assistance in locating the proper scheduling coordinator.
Lab reservation policies vary with lab and department. Generally, they are reserved according to a priority:
- Scheduled courses
- Departmental priorities
- College outreach events
- Other events and uses
Certain events require the payment of a fee for the use of the facility and staff preparation time.
