Overview
Technology Training Services oversees five training facilities:
- Turing Auditorium
- four Macintosh/Windows computer labs
Turing Auditorium and two of the Macintosh/Windows labs (POST & PHIL) are located in the Jordan Quad area of campus (near the corner of Campus Drive West and Panama St.). The other two Macintosh/Windows labs are located at the IT Services Arguello Labs (Encina Modular B), 427 Arguello Way, off of Serra Street, next to Encina Hall. See this map of all our training facilities.
Fees
Facilities are available for use on a fee basis (Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) to Stanford departments and groups; off-campus groups may rent the facilities if they are sponsored by a Stanford group that provides a university account number (PTA).
Rates:
- Turing Auditorium: $60/hour (2-hour minimum time blocks)
- POST / PHIL / Arguello Labs: $75/hour (4-hour minimum time blocks)
Scheduling
Priority in scheduling is given to staff training in university administrative applications and to the regular courses offered by IT Services Technology Training. After these classes have been scheduled each quarter, rental requests are given consideration on a space-available, first-come first-served basis.
To reserve a facility, first check its availability at http://techtrainingcalendar.stanford.edu/.
