Computer Stations

The following computer stations are located across from the Library’s General Service Desk in the Project Sandbox space. These computers are intended to be used for projects that require either higher computing power (e.g., Dell and Apple computers) or provide the ability to experiment with coding (e.g., Raspberry Pi computers). University of Lethbridge digital credentials are required to log onto both the Apple and Dell computers. For inquiries about computers or the software they provide, please email project.sandbox@uleth.ca.
