The computing facilities in the Tutorial building are linked via the Campus network to each laboratory, enabling close co-operation between theoretical analysis and experimentation as well as facilitating the School's computer-aided manufacturing. There are four main computer laboratories:

Computer Laboratory: ME206
Computer Laboratory: ME306
Research Computing: ME109
Research Computing: ME110

The Computing Facilities Guide tells you how to access and use the School's computing facilities.
