A320 Lab

Purpose and Policy

Room A320, Weeks Hall, is a dual-use facility consisting of computers for instructional purposes funded by the Department of Geology and Geophysics,  and a videoconferencing facility funded by the NASA Astrobiology Institute (NAI).

The computer resources in A320 Weeks are accessible to members of the following groups, in order of decreasing priority:
1) students registered in a regularly scheduled department course during the timetable hours as reserved at the beginning of the semester.
2) members of the NAI participating in a scheduled video conference (or other group activity). Because videoconferences are sometimes scheduled at short notice, on a need-basis, if there is a scheduling conflict with group (1), group (2) may request other Departmental videoconferencing facilities.
3) other non-NAI department members participating in a scheduled video conference (or other group activity).
4) graduate students in the department
