IT Facilities on Campus
IT Suite and Labs
There are over 240* PCs available to use
in the IT Suite and Labs, with 70* of these
being available 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week during semesters. Many Schools also
have IT Labs which are available for their
students to use.
We operate a first come, first served policy
on the PCs, so there is no need to book a
PC – just find a vacant one and use it.
Please note that there are times when the
IT Suite is extremely busy and you should
consider your fellow students and use PCs
at these times purely for study purposes.
Please also note that leaving a PC
unattended and logged in (whether
attempting to reserve or just forgetting)
can cause a number of issues:1. You could compromise your own personal
data and information which is stored on
your personal network drive (S:Drive),
as this is open for all to see.
2. If you have logged into your email,
someone could send a malicious email
on your behalf.
3. Other students may need to use this
computer, especially at busy times.
If you have any concerns regarding this,
please do not hesitate to contact IT
CONNECT in the Library.

Our Labs are used for teaching purposes,
but when they are not being used for
teaching they are available for students
to use – again there is no booking required,
just find a vacant PC and use it.
Labs 5, 6, 7 (located on the ground floor
of the Library) are our Silent Study PC Labs,
so if you need somewhere a little quieter to
study away from the hustle and bustle of the
main IT Suite, this will be the place to go.
Most labs contain audio visual equipment
for teaching which includes a projector and
speakers connected to a presentation PC.
