What is it?

ITS supports 12 public lab locations on campus, spread across a number of buildings.  Intended primarily for student use, all but one of these labs are equipped with Silicon iMacs running the latest version of macOS. The remaining lab is equipped with Windows 11 machines running several Windows-only curricular applications.

There are also 14 public printers, as well, for use by all members of the Carleton community.

Lab computers offer a mix of software, including the Microsoft Office suite, Adobe Creative Cloud, and a number of course-specific packages.  

How Do I use it at Carleton?

  • For a detailed list of lab locations and sizes, please visit Public Labs.
  • While all the public labs share a common base of software, not all packages are available in all places. Discover the complete list of Software Availability.
  • For more detailed information on printing in public labs, please see Printing at Carleton.
  • In addition to the public labs, there are a number of semi-public and departmental labs, which offer more specialized software packages unique to the departments they are associated with.
  • The computers in all public spaces are “refreshing,” meaning that when you log out, the computer removes all evidence that you were ever logged in, including any documents you created, settings you changed, and your browsing history.
