About the Department

Advanced Computing Lab

The ACL is a computer lab designed especially for computer science students. It is the long overdue replacement for the former, outdated computer lab in Fleck Hall 110, and is intended to provide an environment (both virtual and physical) that is conducive to working with and learning about computers.

Location

The ACL is located on the St. Edward's University main campus, in the Woodward Office Building, room #114. The Woodward Office Building, which used to be the old Fine Arts Building, is the long metal building southeast of Moody Hall. The door to the ACL has black letters on the door describing it as such. There are two other computer labs near the ACL, but they are not associated with it.

Who can use it?

The ACL is only available to Computer Science and Computer Information Science students. You'll need to swipe your student ID card to enter the room. If you need access to the ACL and your card doesn't open the door, contact John Camden.

The ACL provides:

• Comfortable seating and computers for 24 students
