Research Labs @ GMP

The Data & GIS Collab provides support staff for project consultation as well as space for collaborative work. The Data and GIS Collab is located within the Geology-Mathematics-Physics Library, 240 Braunstein Hall, and offers a public and consult workstation. The Data and GIS Collab gives GIS consultation by appointment or within consultation hours.

Workstations:

• Both the public and consult workspaces are equipped with two high-performance pc workstations, dual 36" monitors and software for data and GIS needs.

Collaborative Spaces:

• Collaborative spaces are available within the Data & GIS Collab, and outside of consultation hours, the consult workstation is also available for public use. There are also two computers available in the Info Commons in the Geology-Mathematics-Physics Library with ArcGIS software installed for use.

Whiteboards: 

• Whiteboards are available in the Data & GIS Collab. If you are interested in using the whiteboards, please ask the circulation desk for materials!

The Visualization Laboratory (Viz Lab) provides a suite of research services focused on data science and visualization. Furthermore, the Viz Lab is a space to encourage interactive teaching and collaborative research. The Viz Lab is located within the Geology-Mathematics-Physics (GMP) Library, 240 Braunstein Hall, and offers consultations by appointment. We provide our researcher services to all research levels including undergraduate students, graduate students, post-docs, staff, and faculty across all departments at the University of Cincinnati.
