Computer Laboratory
Located on the 4th floor of Kennedy Hall next door to the studio space, the Department of Landscape Architecture’s Computer Lab provides students with a full suite of the most recent, industry-leading graphic software products for drafting, 3D modeling, and design visualization. The Lab contains 15 PC workstations, widescreen projection capabilities as well as two 42” large-format plotters. Students can work in the Lab 24/7, either in person or by requesting remote access to individual computers.
In addition to providing a wide range of standard products like Microsoft Office, our Lab computers are equipped with the most advanced applications used in the field of landscape architecture:
