The Lemieux Library and McGoldrick Learning Commons is a central hub of technology access on campus. We host the largest computer lab at SU, distributed across three floors of the building. We offer reservable group study rooms equipped with computers and AV equipment, loans of laptop computers, audio and video recording gear, photography equipment, technology training, and much more. We strive to meet the technology needs of on- and off-campus researchers, and to offer support online, over the phone, and in person, to ensure that you have a good experience using our resources.
