The University's academic computing facilities are all linked by a campus-wide fibre optic network. The department's computers form an integral part of this resource.

Computer Science students have access to three computer laboratories:

  • J301, Dell Optiplex, 3.4 GHz Intel Pentium D processors, 17" LCD flat panel displays, Windows/Linux (dual boot).
  • J310, Dell Optiplex, 3.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processors, 19" LCD flat panel displays, Windows/Linux (dual boot).
  • J327, Robotics and APCO 2P01 Personal Computers and Network lab.
  • D205, Dell Optiplex, 3.33 GHz Intel Core i5 quad core processors, 19" LCD flat panel displays, Windows/Linux (dual boot).

These labs are connected to a 16 core Linux Server and power points for laptops have been installed in designated sections within each of our labs. Wireless access is provided by the University in all buildings to support laptop connectivity.

The department's facilities are primarily housed in J-Block of the Mackenzie Chown Complex. This block was constructed in 1993 specifically to house Mathematics (located on the fourth level) and Computer Science (located on the second and third levels). In addition, a few staff and faculty have offices in D-Block of Mackenzie Chown.

The second level of J-Block also contains two general access computer labs maintained by Brock's Information and Technology services as well as a few lecture and seminar rooms.
