The University of Kentucky has eight laboratories constructed for GIS teaching and research. MicroLabs (funded by the University for general student access to microcomputers) provide
access for student enrolled in GIS courses. The following laboratories provide GIS software and hardware access.

All laboratories are used for research and teaching with the exception of the Anthropology GIS Laboratory
and LOG which is only used for research in forestry. Plotting services are available at several locations. The Gyula Pauer laboratory and SSTARS have a HP 650 inkjet plotter, a color printer. Most labs have
ample black and white printing possibilities and basic color output capabilities. The Gyula Pauer laboratory is in the process of expanding the lab facilities through the purchase of Pentium III workstations and
improved networking equipment. In addition to these laboratories, KGS possesses an array of computer hardware including scanners and plotters.
Units not listed above do not maintain their own laboratory facilities per se, but rely on university supported labs or equipment purchased with research grants. The university provides students with 17 computing
laboratories, notebook computers which can be checked out, and a wide range of software. Most labs have ArcView installed, special installations of other software are possible. The library, completed 1998,
has several facilities and has prioritized computers in larger laboratories for GIS use. |
