The Psychology Center

The Psychology Center, located near Smyth Hall, includes research laboratories, a seminar room, psychology faculty offices, a computer laboratory, and a student lounge. We encourage students to take advantage of its extensive resources.

The research facilities include individual laboratories and related equipment for work in the areas of physiological psychology, perception and cognition, and biofeedback. An observation room with one-way mirrors and several research cubicles allows for studies in social and developmental, as well as other areas, of psychology.

The center's computer resources are thorough, with both MAC and PC computers with internet access and connections to the college-wide network. A complete software library includes programs for data analysis, word processing, graphics, simulations, computerized instruction, and data collection.

The Psychology Center also houses the Gerontological Resources area, a room where students, faculty, staff, and members of the community can access material resources on aging, network with others having similar interests, and hold small group sessions. The lounge and conference rooms are available for Psychology Club and Psi Chi meetings, social gatherings, and study groups. The center is open from 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM seven days a week. Specific hours are posted for access to the computer facilities.
