COMPUTER SUPPORT
Andy Molloy, Daryl Olin and Christopher Cavino, our in-house computer consultants, are available to aid visiting critics. They can be contacted at archit@syr.edu.

Wireless internet access is available throughout campus via AirOrangeX, which does not require a password or login. The network was upgraded during the summer of 2024, and you may find that devices that previously could not connect work fine now.
When connecting from a personal computer, access to school network printers and the G drive is blocked unless you install and use the SU VPN (current arch students, faculty, and staff only).
If you are having trouble connecting through AirOrangeX, contact the IT staff.
LAPTOP COMPUTERS
To borrow one of the School’s Dell laptops for short term use (2-3 hours), please reserve at the Student Services Desk in Room 201. Laptops have software such as AutoCAD, Rhino and Adobe Creative Suite.
...
Large format printing devices are located in our fully staffed Plot Room, Room 013. Please refer below to more extensive printing and plotting policies, and visit soa.syr.edu/printing for full details. Our full-time print/plot monitor, Ronn Green, supervises the operation during business hours. Student plot monitors staff the room during Ronn's lunch hour on weekdays and weeknights and weekends. It is not possible for anyone to print or plot without completing required training through Andy , Daryl or Christopher; after completing the training, faculty will upon request receive a $100 discretionary allowance per semester to print and plot. School-related plotting such as lecture and exhibition posters, symposia, etc., must be charged to separate funds set up for those purposes with the chairs of those committees.
...
Problems or concerns related to the equipment should be directed to the plot monitor on duty or to Andy , Daryl or Christopher.
