 Our Facility

The facility consists of seven classrooms in the Business Building and four classrooms in the AAS Building that are equipped with computers and printers. These are used for hands-on computer instruction. The Technology Center is located in the AAS Building. This is considered an open-lab for West Valley College students. The machines are both Dell and Macintosh computers. There is no fee for the use of the Technology Center but there is a charge for printing. Please come to the lab with $1 bills. The "pay for print machine" does not accept credit cards or coins.
