Silence and signs litter the once busy TechCentral computer lab in the Marcus White building as it moved last month. 

Now moved to the Elihu Burritt Library on the third floor, some people on campus said they were disappointed with the change. 

Signs posted around campus and on the front door of Marcus White said the computer lab is now integrated in the same areas as the “learning commons.” 

Tech Central employee Kage Harrison said the move was made in an effort to condense all the services into one spot on campus. 

“We are trying to centralize everything because, when someone comes to study where do you go?” he said. “You go to the library.” 

Some said the transition left “a bad taste” despite the attempt to centralize and condense. 

CCSU student Michael Nohmy said the new location is inconvenient for him and others around the school 

“It was convenient and now students have to walk across campus to go to Tech Central,” he said. 

Nohmy said he favored the location in Marcus White because it was easier to access from areas on campus such as Willard DiLoretto Hall and others down the hill. 

Kim Towler, a regular at Tech Central, also said she was frustrated that the location is now inconvenient for her.  

“I’m handicapped,” she said. “I don’t need to be walking through the stacks!” 

Towler said she was working on stories and the move to the commons has left Tech Central difficult and inaccessible for her. 

“Not everything is easily accessible in the stacks,” she said. 

While some are frustrated, Harrison said that the services remain the same such as laptop loans, IT support and others. 

It is open Monday to Thursday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
