In a day when all students have a computer, we're still providing plenty of
labs. Students want them because, we know the college computers will work
when we need to write a paper. It's almost like they treat their PCs like
disposable burners or something :-)

Labs aren't going away entirely, but the last time we renovated a lab space
we didn't put in any computers. We added tables with power modules in the
surface for kids to plug in their own laptops, and printers connected via a
PaperCut page where students can upload documents to print. The students

We have a new Liberal Arts building that is currently in construction. The
floor plans aren't quite nailed down yet but there was something on the current
plans that made me wonder. There's no less than six computer labs in the
building. Seeing that we make all of our Freshmen buy iPads and

I was wondering just how useful computer labs are now/will be in the next two

Here at Temple University we centralized computer labs. We used to have
countless small labs in each School or College scattered across our campuses.
We opened a 700 computer lab with all software and access for all majors and
shutdown nearly all of those smaller labs.
We're doing a fair amount of application virtualization so students can

mobile devices) without needing to come to a physical computer lab.
