Located on the Sir George Williams Campus in the heart of downtown Montreal, computing facilities for the Department of Building, Civil and Environmental Engineering are provided by the centralized IT services of the Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science. Over 1600 PCs are integrated in a gigabit Network, in addition to a 16 terabyte NAS file server, numerous "Services" and "Application" servers, and a modern HPC Cluster with 464 compute cores and 128 visualization cores. For graduate teaching, there are about 300 desktops available in 26 computer labs and 4 project rooms in the EV building. All systems are dual boot Linux/Windows(XP), with general Microsoft tools provided by the current Campus agreement and other special engineering applications (AutoCAD, Matlab, Rational Rose, etc) necessary to satisfy the teaching mission. The software is updated every term and the systems are monitored closely.
In addition, 7 primary teaching laboratories - Building Science - Accoustics and Building Science - Lighting, Engineering Materials, Environmental Engineering, Mechanics of Materials, Surveying Field Work, Soil Mechanics, and Water Resources. Sixteen primary research laboratories are also available - Building Accoustics, Building Aerodynamics, Building Envelope Performance, Building Materials, Construction Engineering Management, Energy Efficiency in Buildings, Environmental Engineering, Foundation, Geotechnical and Systems Computations, Indoor Air Quality and Ventilation, Solar Energy and Lighting, Structures, Thermal Analysis, Thermal Environment and HVAC Control, Transportation Engineering, and Water Resources.
