Computing Facilities

Faculty Research

The Department of Computer Science (College of Science and Engineering) is located in Congdon Hall, which opened in 2007 as the Computer Information Systems Building (CIS).

The 51,731 square-foot, state-of-the-art facility was funded by the North Carolina State Bond campaign of 2000 at a cost of $12.8 million.

The CIS building contains several state of the art labs including a Digital Arts lab and a networking lab, research facilities, fully-equipped "smart" classrooms, and a 128 seat auditorium. The CIS building also features several "sandboxes" - small conference rooms equipped with plasma displays that are often used by students collaborating on projects.

Dedicated server rooms in the building house computing equipment that supports teaching and research in computer science, and virtually all computer science classes are taught in classrooms in the building. Also located in the CIS building are offices for computer science faculty and graduate students, and a well-furnished student lounge complete with plasma TV!
