The College of Business 24/7 University Computer Lab that serves all MTSU students. We service around 14,000 students per semester. Historically, the 24/7 serves students from all disciplines: 24% Business, 20% Business and Applied Sciences, 16 Education, Liberal arts 12%, Mass Communication 14%, Others 14%. We have 200 computers and 7 main laser printers available to students. Our printers print about 6 million pages per year. Because the JCB University Computer Lab is open 24x7, it is one of the most used student-oriented services on campus. Therefore, our lab area experiences high usage rates; beyond normal usage-rates. We are in desperate need to upgrade our printers as well as renovate our main area (carpets, dividers, walls, chairs). We currently have broken chairs (out of warranty), dirt-stained panels that cannot be clean; etc. The clerical staff has done a good job maintaining the furniture and has allowed us to use it for 15 years. After consulting with Construction and Renovation Department, it was determined that the best option is to renovate the area. We are proposing to refurnish the fabric for the divider panels, replace carpet, chairs and apply new accent paint accent walls.
