The Department of Chemistry maintains a general use computer laboratory located in the Laboratory Science Commons 1131. This laboratory contains ten virtual workstations running Intel Atom CPUs with 2 GB RAM and Windows 10. They are connected to the Chemistry Learning Commons on the TechAnywhere system. These computers are available to all undergraduate and graduate students in Chemistry as well as graduate students enrolled in the Environmental Sciences Ph.D. program. If you have any questions regarding the use of these systems, please contact Derek Cashman or Lisa Norsworthy.
The virtual desktops that are available in the Chemistry Learning Commons are also accessible from personal computers on and off campus through TechAnywhere. To learn how to connect to this resource, click here.
The lab is also equipped with a printer connected to Tennessee Tech University’s Pharos system for students to print course-related documents.
