Lab Upgrades



2012-13 Liberal Arts Lab, Classroom, and Network/Server Upgrade Proposals

Apply Here

Deadline: Noon on Monday, March 26, 2012


Funding is available for one-time lab costs for student computer labs. Priority will be given to replacing obsolete equipment (over 4 years old) in existing labs. A strong case must be made for the pedagogical necessity of the lab. Special consideration will be given to projects that provide students with access to equipment and software that are not readily available elsewhere. Be sure to list the classes and number of students that will use the labs, as well as estimate how often the equipment will be used.


Special Notes about Funding


Eligible costs include, but are not limited to:

  • Computer equipment and software (A four-year replacement cycle is generally presumed for computer equipment. Cost per station should average $250-$500 per year over the computer's life cycle.)
  • Purchase and installation of multimedia equipment
  • Electrical and lighting upgrades
  • Network upgrades (see Servers and Networks)
  • Furniture and Architectural Renovation (limited availability)


Funding is NOT available for:

  • Faculty or staff computer equipment
  • Teaching Assistants or Lab Proctors
  • Tuition, fees or scholarships for student employees
  • Recurring salary, wages, supply, and M&O costs


Do not propose the addition of new labs without approval for use of proposed space. If architectural renovation is necessary, indicate the source of funding. Technology Grant funding for furniture and architectural renovation is rare, and other funds will generally be required to cover these costs.
