DoIT changing computer lab hours for summer, fall

April 23, 2015

College GrindIn response to usage data collected over the past year, the Division of Information Technology is adjusting computer lab hours.

This summer, only the College Grind in the Holmes Student Center and Founders Library Lab on the third floor will be open Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The labs in the School of Music, Graham Hall and the lower level of the Holmes Student Center will be closed for the summer.

Starting Fall 2015, all labs will be closed Saturday and Sunday except the College Grind and Founders Library Lab.

Usage data has shown decreasing traffic in the labs. Many people are using their own mobile devices instead. Wi-Fi covers most of the DeKalb campus, and there are several charging station locations across campus. Most course software is in the cloud and can be accessed anywhere, anytime from AnywhereApps.
