The College of Design offers one public walk-in computer lab for all students to use, as well as two teaching labs that can be scheduled for class use. A remote lab is also available for virtual connection.

All of the machines are dual-boot macOS and Windows, pre-loaded with commonly-needed software to ensure students can access the programs used as part of their academic courses and projects.
