Computer Labs

Remote Lab Information

The College of Design has a number of ‘virtual desktops’/virtual machines (through Azure
Virtual Desktop or ‘AVD’) available for students to connect to. Students can connect to this to have
additional computational power and Windows 10 software packages. The current setup provides a
‘remote desktop’ experience many users have previous experience with.

**Data is not saved between sessions.  When you disconnect, anything saved on the virtual machine will be deleted.  Save your work and upload it to CyBox or other online data storage.  If you accidentally disconnect, there is a small 5-10 minute window to reconnect to the same session, but it is not always guaranteed.  You are responsible for your data. Save and upload often!**
