- TCOL-Mac (TG05) and TCOL-PC (TG06), both on Ground Floor of Tower Block, College of Education

Most of the student computer areas only have Windows/PC computers.
Some labs (Hunter CAL and TG05) have macOS computers that also can use the Windows Student Desktop.

AskStudent IT strive to provide all students with great areas to study in, however sometimes there can be issues:
- Carpet worn or torn?
- Lab too hot or cold?
- Lab unclean, or equipment dirty?
- Light bulb flickering or out?
- Other students being noisy, unruly, or damaging equipment?
- Printer out of paper, toner, or staples?
