The Reem-Kayden Center

The Reem-Kayden Center

The Computer Science Program is housed in the Gabrielle H. Reem and Herbert J. Kayden Center for Science and Computation (RKC). The main floor of the Center has three large, self-contained "smart" classrooms, an auditorium capable of seating 80, and labs lining the entire western side of the building. The labs are framed by glass walls that overlook woods leading down a slope to Annandale Road. Faculty offices are found on the second floor.

What's in the RKC?

Built in 2007, the Center has state-of-the-art equipment and facilities, with ample laboratory and teaching space.

RKC Features

  • Computer Laboratory
    A new computer teaching laboratory (the "Doughnut Room") enables integrated hands-on computing within the context of classroom instruction. The teaching lab includes reconfigurable tables for group projects, 21 Macintosh computers at the perimeter, a printer, and projection to the main screen for all computers in the lab.
  • Hardware Teaching Lab
    The Hardware Teaching Lab, for instruction in computer hardware and robotics, contains 20 PCs that dual-boot Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux. Lab tables support work on electronic and mechanical systems. An attached room houses Lego Mindstorms, IPRE, and Pioneer robots as well as electronics equipment.
