Room 163: Has 19 workstations and an instructor’s station and projector. Can seat up to 20-25. Common applications are loaded on all stations. Stations allow for full functionality with minimum security in place. Printing is available to networked lab printers.

Room 127: Has 30 workstations with an instructor’s station, 2 projectors with 2 screens, and a video player. Networked system allows for viewing student stations from the instructor’s station or displaying instructor’s station to all student stations and other features. Sound system for instructor and students. Common applications are loaded on all stations. Printing is available to networked lab printers. Using the instructor station effectively requires some instruction and practice in advance.
