Department Information and Resources#
Building Access#
Keycard access to Doyle Hall is provided to all graduate students. The department manager can assist with providing access to Doyle Hall keycard scanners in the event that access permissions need to be updated.
If you are locked out of Doyle Hall or your office space, there are two options to unlock:
During business hours, the department manager has a master key to unlock all rooms in the building.
After hours, Campus Safety has keys to unlock all doors in the building. They can be reached at (773) 508-7233.
Computer Science Computing and Lab Resources#
Desk Space#
Although space is extremely limited in Doyle Hall, the department will provide desk space to all PhD students. Contact your PhD advisor to request desk space in the department.
MS students are not guaranteed desk space, but they may be granted space on a case-by-case basis. For MS students on the research track, the advisor should be able to assign desk space. TAs may also request desk space by petitioning the Space Force committee with a written document describing the reason that a dedicated desk space is needed (contact info in Key Roles & Contacts).
Makerspace#
The CS makerspace is located in room 003 in the garden level of Doyle Hall. It has workbench space, hand tools, 3D printers, and laser cutters. Access to the makerspace is controlled by keycard scanner and can be requested through the department manager (contact info in Key Roles & Contacts). All graduate students will be granted access to the makerspace upon request.
Computing Resources#
The CS department maintains servers in the research datacenter located in the basement of Mundelein Hall. Our servers host virtual machines for research and instruction. Physical access to the research datacenter is strictly controlled and generally not available to graduate students.
Graduate students may request to have a virtual machine created on their behalf as part of department-related work by contacting the CS department IT administrator (contact info in Key Roles & Contacts).
Maintenance Requests#
Maintenance requests can be filed with the Loyola Facilities Department.
Email#
All Computer Science communication will be sent to students’ Loyola email accounts. Students are responsible for maintaining their email account and responding to messages in a timely manner.
Printers and Office Supplies#
Office supplies are available to all graduate TAs and RAs for use in department-related work. An office supplies cabinet is located on the second floor of Doyle Hall across from Room 214.
The department has two printers available for department-related use. One is a Konica-Minolta copier/printer located on the second floor. There is no charge for printing, but students are asked to be judicious about what they print to help keep costs under control.
