The Office of Information Technology is conveniently located in the Bunnell Building to provide centralized access. OIT provides expertise and resources that support the technology needs of UAF students, faculty and staff. The residence halls have wired as well as wireless Internet access in dorm rooms, and wireless is available in most public areas in all building on the Fairbanks campus. Student computing labs on the Fairbanks campus include a new collaborative commons called the Nook. Located in Bunnell 319, the area offers various seating options with accessible power outlets, virtual computer stations, wired and wireless network access for student devices, mobile printing, and collaborative conference tables where students can share content on their devices with others on a large screen.
