Facilities

At Lancaster we offer all our PhD students excellent facilities to support their research. All students are supplied with office space in InfoLab21 and we have a number of dedicated labs to support experiements in areas such as ubiquitous computing and user evaluation. Lancaster also has one of the most advanced communications networks of UK universities. A multigigabit core infrastructure interconnects the campus laboratories, offices and public spaces, and offsite connectivity to the rest of the world will soon be upgraded to 10 Gigabits per second as Lancaster implements its key role in the country-wide SuperJANET5 and UKLight academic networks. Lancaster also runs its own metropolitan area network (CLEO), providing network support for over 1000 schools and colleges in the North West of England. Moreover, Lancaster has recently become the only UK University with a telecommunications licence, and soon plans to use this to provide its own DSL connectivity to staff and student homes alike in the Lancashire and Cumbria region.
