Computer Labs on Campus

Wheaton College has one large central computer lab on the first floor of the Buswell Library. The Billy Graham Center houses two smaller labs. One is located second floor and the second is on the 3rd floor in Special Collections. These labs are available to all students. In addition, each residence hall has a small lab available to the students who live in those dorms. See Hours and Locations below for details.

Our computer labs provide a variety of software, laser printing, email, and access to the Internet.

The computer lab in Buswell Library always has lab assistants (Labbies) on duty. Labbies gladly assist students with their computing problems and answer questions about computer systems and software installed in the labs.

Many part-time job opportunities in Computing Services are available to Wheaton College students, including new students. Click on the link for more information.
