Computer Science Facilities

Technology that prepares you for tomorrow

At CMU your learning environment is designed to mirror the evolving world of tech. From hands-on labs to powerful virtual tools, you’ll work in spaces that support your growth as a developer, data analyst, or cybersecurity expert all while giving you access to the same platforms and systems used by industry professionals.

State-of-the-art computer labs

Our department features three modern Windows 11 computer labs equipped with high-performance machines. These labs aren’t just places to complete assignments, they’re where you’ll experiment, build, debug, and collaborate on everything from introductory coding projects to full-stack applications.

Whether you’re diving into Python, developing a database system, or refining a machine learning model, you’ll find the computing power and support you need right at your fingertips.

Virtual environments for real-world tools

Beyond the physical labs, you’ll have access to virtual machines (VMs) configured with industry-standard software environments to prepare you for what’s next. These include:

• Hadoop for distributed data processing
• Oracle for enterprise-level database management
• Linux for system administration and open-source development
• JupyterHub for collaborative data science and machine learning

These environments allow you to simulate real-world scenarios, test code, analyze data, and build scalable systems, all without being limited to the physical lab space.

Learn anywhere, build everywhere

By combining physical lab access with robust virtual tools, our facilities give you the flexibility to work on projects both on campus and remotely. You’ll develop the tech fluency and adaptability today’s employers expect, while getting hands-on with the platforms driving tomorrow’s innovations.
