Lab Policies and Access

Policies

Labs are located in UW1 (Founders Hall) 302, 310, 320, 321A and 321B. Lab access is restricted to students taking CSS classes and only granted for the quarter in which a student is enrolled in CSS classes. Note: Undergraduate access to room 302 is only granted through the permission of a CSS professor, and graduate student access renews every quarter the student is enrolled.  

Students may use the labs during building hours, posted on the building entrances. Building hours differ during summer and quarterly breaks, and close during campus holidays.

For support questions and to report any issues with the equipment in the labs, send an email to uwbit@uw.edu.
