ECE’s Computing Labs are located in the ECE Building on the first and third floors. You must have a an ECE-affiliated UW NetID to log onto these computers. Also, since the labs are locked, be sure to bring your student card with you – the doors have magnetic card readers that only allows access by ECE students.

If you feel you should have access to one of these labs, but can’t get in, fill out an access request form at the ECE main office front desk (Paul Allen Center AE100R).
