Description
The Wilkinson Lab, known colloquially as "Wilks," is the computer lab on the third floor of the Technological Institute (Tech) room M338. This particular lab includes several powerful Sun and Red Hat Enterprise Linux servers and 28 high-performance Sun Solaris workstations and 16 Windows XP PCs. A wide variety of graphics, CAD, circuit design/simulation, database, and other software packages are available on these machines. With the technology available, it is clearly a great place to do the actual projects required by various classes, but it also provides excellent meeting tables and lounge corners for relaxing. [1]
