The Babbage and Lovelace computer labs are comfortable, pleasant and engaging environments that are sensory-friendly - they are quieter and less cluttered than traditional computer labs.

The desks in the Lovelace and Babbage computer labs are arranged in banks of six with a display monitor on each bank.

The display monitor on each bank can either show teaching material or share group work from each area.

Monitors on each desk fold down to encourage engagement and build group work skills when screens are not in use.

The Lovelace computer laboratory seats 120 students.

The Babbage computer laboratory seats 60 students.

There is a breakout space next door to the Babbage computer lab which can be used for seminars and discussion groups. The space has wraparound whiteboards and is set up to encourage collaborative working.

The nearby social space enables you to socialise or get refreshments before or after your labs.
