Lenoir-Rhyne on the Grid!
Fall, 2005 the Computing Sciences is live on the  grid network which  supports research, and will export the technology to local IT companies through a summer workshop.

O Where to find us:  The Computing Sciences have moved to the second floor of the newly renovated Mauney Conference Center 

Besides the faculty offices on the second floor, the new CS advanced computer lab is open on the first floor of the building.
