Computer Labs
VCU provides a variety of computer lab spaces for currently-enrolled students across both campuses.
We recommend that you review each of these spaces to learn more about the technology, equipment, and services provided at each.

This may mean that a specific major and/or active affiliation with the group is required to use their space.
