==Description==
The Teaching Lab, known colloquially as "<em>T-Lab</em>," is the computer lab on the second floor of the [[Technological Institute]] (Tech) in room F252, right before the bridge that connects to the [[Ford]] building.  This particular lab consists of 16 high-end PCs connected to a storage server on a private network. The PCs include powerful graphics cards attached to large LCD displays, dual boot Linux and Windows XP, and are on a private network. They have a wide range of software installed and are used in numerous courses. The T-Lab can be used for studio instruction. As an adjunct to the T-Lab, WiFi and camera-enabled Pocket PC handheld computers are available for students to check out for project use with faculty approval.  It's usually quite dark and uninteresting inside, so it's not known to be an ideal meeting place for group discussions. <ref>http://www.eecs.northwestern.edu/about/lab-facilities</ref>

==Usage==
This term is mostly used by the computer science and electrical engineering community at Northwestern when talking about a controlled computer environment with high computing power. It is more often used colloquially as "<em>T-Lab</em>."

==Example Sentences==
# Let's meet up in Teaching Lab to work on the networking program assignment.
# Do you want to meet up in [[Wilks]] or T-Lab to talk about the project? I'd like to meet up in [[Wilks]] because it's much more relaxing.
