Welcome to the University of Chicago Computer Science Department's Instructional Laboratories. Located in the Regenstein Library's A-level, we provide students, faculty, staff, and other university affiliates with a variety of computing services. On this website, you can learn more about the hardware and software for use, the lab's policies, and our computer training minicourses. You can also submit feedback about the lab or its staff.
