Virtual PC pool

In order to be able to continue to carry out computer exercises on the computers in the PC pool, the IT support department FB9 looked for a way to provide the physical computers in the PC pool externally.

The virtual PC pool currently consists of two event rooms and a free work room, each with 29 workstations for students to use, as well as a lecturer workstation in the event rooms and 10 workstations in the free work room. The workstations in rooms 1 and 2 are primarily available for courses. Outside the times of courses and during the available times, they enable work on exercises, seminars and final theses. The same applies to the free work room, but this can be used freely during the above-mentioned opening hours, even during course times in the other rooms.

The current occupancy of the rooms "Virtual PC Pool: Room 1" and "Virtual PC Pool: Room 2" can be viewed  under this link to the room occupancy of the vPool.
