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
• Whiteboards
• SmartBoard technology in Labs 4 and 5
• Ability to electronically “join” Labs 3 and 4, providing instructional opportunities for up to 40 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.  The current room rental rate is $50 per hour.  Additional costs will be incurred if special software installations and/or after hours support is required.  Please note that OACS requires at least two weeks notice for special software installations.
