This is a list of rooms hosting DICE computing facilities for Informatics students. As well as desktop machines, some under flip desks, there are a number of network ports for connecting laptops.
These are available to all Informatics students 24 hours a day, with swipe card access required for most areas.
Some of these rooms are regularly used for teaching classes: the online booking schedule shows which rooms are free when.
If you encounter any problem with a DICE machine, please report this using the Computing Support Form.
