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 that laptops are super cheap nowadays, I was wondering just how useful computer labs are now/will be in the next two years or so. Getting rid of most or all of those labs would cut down on costs considerably. I've heard of some colleges dumping computer labs as they seem to be needed less and less as users have more and more tech available cheaply. What's your take?
