Computer Lab Services

OACS maintains 5 open computer labs in the basement level of Lefrak Hall for members of the University of Maryland community. Labs 1, 3, 4, and 5 may be used for instructional purposes (classes, demonstrations, etc.), while Lab 2 is reserved for student use. Lab features are as follows:

• 20 workstations plus 1 instructor station
• Overhead LCD projection with sound
• Video conferencing functionality
• Whiteboards
• SmartBoard technology
• Ability to electronically “join” all labs, providing instructional opportunities for up to 80 students at one sitting.
• Access to BSOS software and the Internet
• Access to pay-for-print printing (both color and black & white)
• Dedicated black & white printing in Lab 5

There are 2 computers in Lab 2 that are specifically designed to handle graphics intensive tasks, like image manipulation and scanning. Each PC is connected to a flatbed scanner, which allows users to scan hard copy documents and/or photos and convert them to PDF. These computers are self-service and first-come first-serve.

Labs may be reserved for purposes other than official University of Maryland classes, based on availability.  Fees may be charged based on the nature of lab usage.  Please note that OACS requires at least two weeks notice for special software installations.
