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.
