The best kept secret on campus is “off campus” at UVSC West. UVSC West is located about five minutes from the main campus in the National Guard Building, directly west of the main campus on the other side of I-15. UVSC West offers six classrooms, a 130 seat-auditorium and computer lab in which 45 to 50 classes are offered each semester to approximately 800 students.
All UVSC students are welcome to use the UVSC West Computer Lab, whether or not they take classes there. The computer lab is fully equipped with computers that accommodate DVDs, flash or ZIP drives. Students can also access UV Link and the Internet and print from any of the computers.
Because most students don’t know about the computer lab at UVSC West, it is rarely crowded. The computer lab is open and staffed Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. and on Fridays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
UVSC West was constructed summer 2006 once the previous UVSC University Mall location’s lease expired. “This new location is great,” said Bob Burns, director of extended studies. “More opportunities are being offered for students, and the location is closer to the main campus, and located right off the freeway for convenience.”
At UVSC West, classes are offered during the day and in the evenings. General education classes are the main classes offered at the building. Each classroom is fully equipped with all the technology and equipment students and instructors would expect such as an overhead projector, television, VHS/DVD player, a media projector and a computer with Internet connection. Live Interactive classes are also offered at UVSC West. Many required courses are offered at very convenient times.
