Operations Schedule
PC Laboratory Renovation in Computer Centre
Air-conditioning improvement work in Computer Centre's PC Laboratories in Room RR-103 and RR-104 of the Run Run Shaw Building will be carried out from June 4-30, 2000. During this period, these two rooms will be closed.
While this project is in progress, all other PC laboratories will remain open as usual according to their opening hours. (RR-201 may have its opening hours extended to 24-hours if the demand for RR-101 at night is high).
The special facilities in RR-104 and the Helpdesk Office will temporarily be relocated to RR-107 during the said period. In addition, one B/W printer and the colour printer will be relocated from RR-103 to RR-107 to support laser printing in the Run Run Shaw Building during this period.
We hope our users will be understanding and bear with the less-than
ideal setup in the PC laboratories and any inconvenience arising from the
move-around.
