Lab Environments

Students in computing programs work in several of the computing labs available to them.  Some of our specialized labs include:

the LAIR: Location for Abstract and Innovative Resources. This is the name of the High-Performance Computing Lab put together for the HPC and UNIX courses at CCC. Located down at the Business Development Center, we sport an Athlon cluster and a myriad of other machines to provide an adequate infrastructure and computing environment for exploration, learning, and collaboration.

Networking Labs: We have two dedicated networking labs hosting a variety of software and networking equipment specialized for the courses located in these labs. 

Mac Lab: Purchased in 2011, our iMac lab is utilized for a variety of graphic design, digital art, and web development and design courses.
