1. The GIS Lab is dedicated to Extension and Outreach geospatial technology training, faculty research projects utilizing geospatial technologies, and university courses in the College of Design with a funded outreach project utilizing geospatial technologies. 
2. We encourage groups to meet and collaborate within the lab.  Please schedule these times so as not to disturb other users.  Reserving the lab for such meetings can be done by contacting Alan Jensen by phone at 294-2073 or by email at adjensen@iastate.edu .
