Computer Labs
All computer lab work stations are connected to the Internet and have been configured with college-approved and licensed software. The basic software package includes Microsoft Office, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox and Adobe Acrobat Reader. Other licensed software packages are installed on as-needed basis. Check with the lab help desk for information about specialized software installed on select computers.
Students are not allowed to install software on lab computers. Control software removes anything installed when the computer reboots.
Science Labs
The science lab is located in Building 1100 at the Sierra Vista Campus and Building 2100 at the Douglas Campus. The lab staff works to ensure all labs are properly set up for various science classes at Sierra Vista, Douglas, Benson, and Santa Cruz. Lab staff supports the science faculty with detailed lab preparation for classes like Biology, Chemistry, Microbiology, Anatomy & Physiology, and Physics. Come by the Student Resource Room if you want to check out bones and models for your Human Anatomy & Physiology class.
