Facilities
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 4 microcomputer laboratories:
J301, Dell Pentium 4, 2.8 GHZ processors, 17" LCD flat panel displays, Windows Xp Pro.
J310, Dell Pentium 4, D830 processors, 19" LCD flat panel displays, Windows XP Pro / Linux (dual boot).
J327, APCO Hardware and COSC Robotics Lab.
D205, Dell Pentium 4, 3.2 GHz processors, 19" LCD flat panel displays, Windows XP Pro / Linux (dual boot).
These labs are connected to a 16 CPU Silicon Graphics Origin 2000 server and a 4 CPU Unisys NT server.
Wireless Internet access is available at various points within the department.
The department's facilities are 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).
The second level also contains two general access computer labs and a few lecture and seminar rooms.
In addition, a few staff and faculty have offices in D-Block of Mackenzie Chown.
