Computer Room Upgrades

Information Resources Lab Management is responding to student and faculty needs by making a number of upgrades and other improvements to computer labs and classrooms for Fall 1997. Here are just a few of those changes:

  • TB 114 will be converted from a terminal lab to an open access computer lab housing 30 computers, both PC and Macintosh, and a printer. The lab will be available on a drop-in basis, and will not be shared with classes, thereby helping to improve computer lab access for students. Check http://lm.ucdavis.edu/rooms/tb114 for the schedule of open hours.

  • The 241 Olson facility will be arranged in a layout similar to that of 21 Olson. Faculty prefer the 21 Olson layout because the screen is visible from all parts of the room, students can work more easily in groups, and the instructor is more accessible to the students.

  • New computers will be installed in 241 Olson, 307 Surge IV, 301a Surge IV, 163 Shields, and 1101 Hart. PowerBook computers in 247 Olson will be upgraded with PowerPC processor cards.

  • The New Media Lab (1154 Meyer) will get new and upgraded equipment, including a new digital video editor and a new bulk slide scanner.

  • High-resolution NEC projectors will be installed in 1102 Hart and 1131 Meyer.
