Computer Labs and Classrooms

SVSU’s approximately 180 classrooms are divided among 10 buildings.  The average classroom seats about 35 students which supports SVSU’s belief in small class sizes and individualized teaching.  Every classroom provides a modern experience with instructor stations containing a computer, document camera and DVD/Blu-ray player.  A projector and speakers will be found in the rooms as well as equipment that may be specific to the discipline of the teachers in a particular classroom.  All rooms are capable of hosting lecture capture software if requested by the teacher.

There are a number of computer labs on campus, all with varying hours, hardware, and software to accommodate the schedules and needs of users at SVSU. Software, like Microsoft Office, is common and easy to find in a lab, while other, specialty titles, like Matlab and SPSS are found in labs typically frequented by students in the majors that use them the most.  Check classroom and lab schedules and equipment and software lists by visiting the mySVSU portal.
