InfoLabs: More than just a great place to study - UW–⁠Madison Information Technology

Finals are coming up fast, and yes, InfoLabs have awesome study spaces—but that’s just the beginning! They’re more than just a physical space.

We’re here to make your academic life easier. Let’s dive into more ways InfoLabs can help you.

Level up your projects (and printing!)

You need reliable tech and the right software to nail your projects. We’ve got you covered:

Fast, reliable computers: Use any of our 500+ computers across campus. They all have a wired internet connection, so lag won’t slow you down.
Special software: Stop struggling with trial versions. You can use programs like the full Adobe Creative Cloud suite, Final Cut Pro, SPSS, Python and more on our lab computers.
Print and scan (almost) anywhere: Print from your laptop wirelessly at most labs, or use the dedicated printing and scanning stations at specific lab locations.

Need specialized tools for a project? Don’t buy it—borrow it!

Equipment checkout: At select locations, you can check out technology equipment for free. Think high-quality cameras, projectors, audio recorders and even game systems for your research (or just a well-deserved study break).

Sometimes you need a silent corner, and sometimes you need to collaborate.

Book a breakout room: Need a private spot to nail that group presentation? Many labs offer breakout rooms you can reserve for focused team collaboration.

With over 20 locations—including handy Media Centers in some residence halls—there’s always an InfoLab close by.

Flexible hours: Most labs are open 5 days a week, but don’t forget College Library is open 24/7 for all-night study sessions!
