Multimedia Lab
The COA continues to provide wired network connections when appropriate for student and faculty use and all faculty offices, studio spaces, the Library and COA computer labs are hard-wired.
In Fall 2006, the College opened the second of two 30-plus computer labs and instruction spaces. Lab specifications are note below but all of the PCs include a variety of software products that support curricula aims of architecture faculty. The College employs a three-year refreshment program meaning that every three years all Lab hardware is upgraded. Both labs as noted below contain printers and, in fact, each building that COA inhabits includes output functionality including b/w and color printers and plotters for larger format documents. These machines are maintained and supplied by the COA thus ensuring timely repair and regular stocking of paper and ink.
