Technology Spaces

Learning & Scholarly Technologies (LST) supports the use of technology in teaching and learning through the design and operation of dynamic technology spaces. These spaces provide students and instructors access to powerful computer workstations, useful software packages, and innovative technology studios. We collaborate with clients and partners in the design and development of technology spaces, as part of our continued effort to provide the best possible resources for teaching, learning, and collaboration.

LST's premier technology spaces include the Mary Gates Hall Computing Resource Center and the Odegaard Undergraduate Library Learning Commons. These facilities provide much more than just a place to check email and do word processing; they are co-located with other key services, to provide students with a rich set of resources that enhances learning.

Videoconference spaces allow geographically separated groups to meet and collaborate using various types of videoconference technologies. Reservation is required.

Our Collaboration Studios facilitate in-person, interactive, small group projects. Reservation is required for some studios.

The Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) is a professional digital-audio studio that utilizes industry-standard computer, recording, mixing, and sound-processing hardware, and audio software for professional audio recording and editing. Reservation is required.

The Digital Presentation Studio is a private space for clients to rehearse and record presentations for practice and review. Reservation is required.

The Labs Services program provides centrally managed and supported networked computers at various locations. In eight libraries, Access+ workstations add office productivity and academic research software to the normal services -- email, Internet access, and library databases -- provided by library terminals.
