The Faculty of Engineering has opened the doors of its refurbished and extended computer complex at the Clayton campus.
On Tuesday 27 June, Engineering Dean Professor Tam Sridhar officially opened the facility, which now has nine computer labs after the addition of two extra labs, plus a bright new foyer and electronic signage at its entrance.
The refurbished area also includes a bank of express computers for students to access email and online teaching materials, a supercomputer, wireless network and power connections for notebook computers, multimedia and printing facilities, and on-site technical support.
The complex was expanded and improved to accommodate an increased space requirement and teaching load, created when the faculty moved its Caulfield campus operations to Clayton this year.
IT Faculty Manager Mr Kah Mun Chan said the complex on the ground floor of building 60 integrated and centralised the faculty's computing facilities.
The two new computer labs hold a maximum of 61 and 10 users respectively, while the other seven labs offer a standard configuration of 24. |
