Conversion of a University of Oregon bowling center into a computer laboratory by the college union is discussed. Located in a renovated former bowling center, the Erb Memorial Union Computer Lounge is a self-supporting campus computer laboratory. User fees are charged for on-site computer rentals, laser printing, color plotting, and typesetting services. To achieve the goal to provide state-of-the-art computer rentals for students, faculty, and staff, a local area network has been used to share software, printers, campus mainframes, and lab management control. Descriptions are provided of the main lab, the control desk, and additional equipment. Information is provided on hardware such as Sixteen Apple Macintosh Plus's, 10 Kaypro PC 10's, and three Apple 2e's. It is noted that demand has pushed the computer lounge to the limit of its computer access capacity. The result is that users are forced to sign a waiting list or make reservations far in advance. Additions to existing equipment has enabled the computer lounge to grow from a user base of 3,000-plus students to 4,000-plus students. Included is the computer lounge budget showing 2 school years.
