Computer Labs/Academic Computing
The goal of academic computing at GBC is to provide the best possible environment for computer training— meeting the needs of students, faculty, staff, and the community. Academic computing focuses on support for delivery of instruction and training.
Computing facilities on the Elko campus include eight computing labs, one located
in Lundberg Hall, one in the Greenhaw Technical Arts Building, and six labs in the
High Tech Center—five teaching labs and one open computer lab. Students enrolled in
office technology, graphic design, drafting, desktop publishing, and a host of other
courses will find well-equipped labs staffed with qualified lab assistants ready to
help with the use of software and additional resources. Open laboratory hours are
posted each semester based on class schedules. Computer labs are also available in
Ely, Wells, Pahrump, and Winnemucca.
Computers at GBC are also connected through a local area network to the Internet,
the world’s computer data highway. Students have the opportunity to use the resources
of this network from any of the labs, and a number of classes are offered that help
students use these resources effectively.
In addition, faculty and staff are connected to the local area network through their
offices. Instructors make use of electronic mail for communication with students and
may collect and send homework assignments through the network. Students may use GBC’s
open computer lab to access GBC’s WebCampus (online) courses.
