PC Lab

Pc-Lab Mission Statement

The PC-Lab provides Computers and working spaces to help facilitate classes and projects that further the ChattLab Mission statement. Secondarily we like to have the lab for a co-working space where you can catch up on some work. Finally, it's a great place to hang!

The PC-Lab provides the following services.

1. Classroom Services (With Computers, Working areas and possible future soldering / electronic stations)
2. Co-working space (A place to setup your laptop or use a Chatt-Lab workstation) This is secondary to the primary function. During classes you may be asked to leave
3. Hanging area ( A place to chill ) ** This is tertiary to all other functions. If your activity is disturbing to the other two functions, you may be asked to leave until they are complete.
4. Group - Entertainment time to hang while playing video games, watching movies or other activities.

• Do not leave trash in the PC Lab!
• If you are working on a project and must leave, please leave a dated note to prevent others from disturbing it. If a project is without a note, has been left longer that 48 hours, or is an obstruction to others' projects, it may be moved.
• Leave the existing workstations in the same state as they were before you used them. Software updates and new software for your projects are fine. If a new program starts an item on boot, please disable it.
• Report any maintenance issues as soon as possible. This includes the facility, hardware and software.
• If you wish to use other operating systems, only run them off removable media. The PCs have software that is expensive and its integrity should be respected.
• Do not use the PCs to view pornographic material. Neither members nor their guests should be made to feel uncomfortable.
• Do not set the heat higher than 25C. This is to prevent damage to hardware and ensure the comfort of members.

• Return chairs to the workstations if you move them.
• Leave a clear area for others to work on repair if you are working on a hardware project.
• If you see trash, throw it out, even if it is not yours.
• If something presents a trip hazard, please move it.
• Turn off the lights if you are the last person to leave.
