computer lab

Shared terminal space

A computer lab is a room equipped with multiple computers for shared use, typically in schools, libraries, or workplaces.

Students complete assignments there, take standardized tests, or learn software skills.

The term evokes an era before personal laptops became ubiquitous: We had to go to the computer lab to type our papers.
