Researchers have access to a number of research facilities that have specialised hardware, software or other resources.

High Performance Computing Research Facility

The HPCRF provides power, air conditioning and secure access for high density research computing equipment. More information on the HPCRF »

WestGrid Collaboration and Visualisation Facility

The WGCVF is a collaborative space that permits researchers to use the AccessGrid network for conferencing using video and audio with many other sites at once. It also has a high-definition video conferencing which can be accessed point-to-point.

The WGCVF also houses a stereo-optical projector which can be used to view three dimensional (3D) data. More information on the WGCVF »

Rapid Prototyper (Engineering Shops)

Engineering Shops has a three dimensional (solid) printer, also called "rapid prototyper". The cost for using this varies, but can be used by on-campus researchers to create a physical representation of their solid models. A stereolithographic file (.STL file) is needed, but may be generated by Engineering Shops from other standard modelling files. More information on the 3D printer »

Qualitative Research Centre

 The Qualitative Research Centre, housed in the College of Arts and Sciences has expertise on qualitative and quantitative analyses and can assist in merging the two branches of data interpretation.More information on the QRC »
