Software

This room uses the general Windows lab software and general Mac lab software set as a baseline.

Software in computer labs changes frequently. We add, remove and update apps several times a year, usually based on course requirements. This page only lists software that's part of our standard build, which remains relatively consistent from one term to the next. You can search all software currently installed in labs using AllSight.

The general lab software for Windows configuration provides common and versatile tools for scholarship in science, humanities and interdisciplinary fields.

  • there are 2 projectors (1 at each end of the room)
    • you can control the 2 projectors independently
  • 4 auxiliary displays (large TVs mounted to the walls along the sides)
    • the aux. displays always mirror projector 1
  • there's no document camera
  • the "AUX" input source is a USB-C cable
