Learning Lab (HIL Room 112)

The Learning Lab is found in Room 112 on the main floor of the HIL.

The Learning Lab is equipped with an instructor's workstation and 16 user workstations, one of which is able to accommodate visual impairment. The user workstations can be arranged with single or dual seating, allowing a maximum of 32 participants.

Each user workstation is comprised of a Dell PC with a DVD drive, a sound card, USB ports, and a 22" digital flat panel monitor.  Individual speakers and headphones are not supplied.  Internet connectivity is provided through the UNB TCP/IP network, allowing access to all university UNIX and Novell servers. Printing is done through the student network, using the print credit system, with print jobs collected at the front of the lab.

The instructor’s workstation is attached to a ceiling-mounted LCD projector and a quality stereo sound system for audio presentations.  The remote control for the projector is kept in the desk's top drawer.

A flip chart, presentation remote, and standard overhead projector are available upon request.
