The computer lab contains hardware and programs to extend the capability to be a conference room as well as a "break-out" room for group project collaboration.
The Westminster computer lab is a "thin client" lab where each workstation is "diskless" (i.e. no hard disk drive). These "thin clients" are connected to a central server to simplify computer maintenance (like installing software). Applications on the "thin clients" can be run via the main server, or run from the "thin client" itself in RAM. This Computer lab uses the Linux Operating System (an educational version of Ubuntu called "Edubuntu"). The application in '''Linux''' to run a diskless workstation lab is called '''LTSP''' (Linux Terminal Server Project).
