Computer Lab - Room 305
Edwards Hall, Room 305 is the computer lab for Mennonite College of Nursing.
Updates for this lab are made possible in part by funding from State Farm
Insurance. All of the nursing programs utilize the computer lab – whether it be for
technology training, orientation, research, video conferencing, or basic computer
access.
Office of Student and Faculty Services
Uptown Crossing Building
Due to the increase in faculty this fall and lack of office space at Edwards Hall, the Office of Student and Faculty Services (OSFS) moved out of Edwards Hall in October and relocated their offices to the Uptown Crossing Building. Several Faculty members also moved to this location. This move is temporary, and after the labs move out of Edwards Hall to the new Clinical Simulation Lab next summer, the first floor of Edwards Hall will be renovated to office space. It is anticipated the OSFS office and faculty will move back to Edwards Hall in the fall of 2012.
