Academic Computing Facilities

Hood offers a student-to-microcomputer ration of five to one, as well as a high-speed Gigabit ethernet campus-wide network. The communications network is accessible throughout the campus and off-campus via dial-in and Internet connections. The Computing Center houses a collection of current generation Digital Equipment Corporation Alpha computers and Intel-based servers running Unix, and Microsoft NT operating systems. These servers provide Internet and Intranet services, such as access to the World Wide Web and e-mail.

A number of the lecture rooms in the teaching halls are equipped with both computer and audiovisual technology. Most learning spaces have large screen monitors, videotape capability and Internet connections under the control of the professors and students.

Hood has embraced the concept of technology-enhanced Living Learning Centers and placed networked computers and printer resources on each floor of the residence halls.
