GIS@Grinnell : Campus Spaces and Reservations

Three GIS-equipped computer labs, a digitizing workstation, and a large format plotter are available on the Grinnell College campus.

Burling Library

The Interactive Instructional Facility (IIF), located in the basement of Burling Library, is the primary computer lab for GIS use on campus.

In addition, a digitizing workstation connected to a large format Calcomp digitizing tablet is located on the main floor of the library, behind the Reference Desk, and may be used upon request.

A large format networked plotter is also available through the library. To use the plotter: set up GIS_PLOTTER located at Burling Technical Services as a printer on your computer. All plots will be paused until arrangements for plotting and payment have been made.

 

Creative Computing Lab

The Creative Computing Lab (CCL) in the Forum supports media-intensive computing, creative projects, data representation, and research and provides a showcase for campus projects using new media technologies. ArcGIS 9.1 is installed on the two PCs in the main lab and the fifteen PCs in the training lab.

 

ARH 124

ArcGIS 9.1 is installed on all 28 PC workstations in ARH 124.

 

Goodnow Hall Computer Lab

Tablet PC Carts in ARH and Noyce Science Center
