The lab consists of a large common room with a kitchen area and built-in desks, two data collection rooms, a large office for students, and a central reception area with a desk, filing cabinets, a telephone, and a computer and laser printer. All graduate and undergraduate students are provided with desk space in the lab, which facilitates collaborative research and creates a lively, educational environment for all students. The computer systems are regularly upgraded every few years. The Department of Psychology runs a bonus course-credit research participation system.
