| Remarks | |
| Whereas | The third floor computer labs in the architecture building currently hold several classes throughout the day; and |
| Whereas | The prior function of the third floor computer labs served as the only location where students could access necessary software for architecture course projects; and |
| Whereas | With the scheduled classes, the resulting availability of the third floor computer labs either conflict with students daytime availability , or prevent usage until late evening hours; and |
| Whereas | The alternative lab option (the first floor computer lab) does not have sufficient programs, nor as many computers as the third floor computer labs thus debilitating students in the development of their work; and |
| Whereas | Today's architecture students rely on access to a variety of cost-prohibitive programs, the lack therefor results in heavy piracy, and the university's role is in providing tools for students success arises; and |
| Whereas | The new printers in the third floor computer labs are fast and efficient for many students who need them for presentations, but inaccessible due to class occupancies, |
| Be It Further Resolved That | A computer lab, dedicated to the free use of architecture students, is provided with up-to-date software and a sufficient amount of computers, or the school maintaining a minimum of one of the third floor computer labs open at any given period during the day. |
