Maintain Windows NT and Mac OS X lab servers to efficiently run lab workstations by restoring each workstation to an original configuration each time it is rebooted. A test and development lab is maintained in the IC office area. Operations and Facilities Lab workstations are replaced every three years. Monitors are replaced every four years.
Lab equipment is distributed to the campus to enhance the scholarly environment.
Labs are staffed by over 100 student employees who are trained systematically. Developing new labs and moving existing labs requires resources. Collaborated with ResNet and the Provosts to better understand their student residents' lab computing needs, especially in the area of technical training and acceptable use policy implementation. Worked with academic divisions to garner input on improving course scheduling in the labs. Partnered with the Arts Division and Film and Digital Media to develop the Digital Media Lab.
