Student Computer Labs
High-Performance Computing on Campus
Computing labs for Wharton students cover all the basics, and more. Students have 24/7 access to a computer lab and printing services in Jon M. Huntsman Hall, plus the convenience of workstations and specially designated terminals located around the Wharton complex.
At Wharton, students have 24/7 access to 57 Group Study Rooms located on the first four floors of Huntsman Hall – well-equipped mini-labs where teams can meet to do research, work on group projects, and create and practice presentations.
Wharton faculty also use group study rooms located near their classrooms for group breakout sessions or in-class simulations. Competing teams run data and debate strategy in private, their decisions linked across stations and monitored centrally in the classroom.
