OPENS DOORS
Department facilities
The whole department is now situated in Owheo Building.
There are 5 general purpose labs (used mainly for the teaching of undergraduate courses), running various dual-boot combinations of Red Hat linux and / or OSX and / or Windows. There are also a number of research groups, including Artificial Intelligence, Computer Theory, Graphics and Vision, Imformation Retrieval and Systems, which are populated by a mixture of staff, postgrad students, research fellows and 400-level students doing lab-related topics.
There are kitchens/common rooms and toilets situated on all floors. These are for general use by both staff and students - but Computer Science shares the Owheo Building with two other departaments, so please be considerate of others, be unobstrusive, and clean up after yourself if you use these rooms.
Being a member of the department
Students are considered members of the department. As such, they benefit from close access to teaching and administrative staff, and access to a wide range of department premises and equipment. With this access goes trust. Here are some of the areas in which you have to keep up your end of the bargain.
