Our facilities

We have our own Computing Support team that set up and administer all the School facilities, as well as provide support for research projects and for resolving any IT problems.

All of our teaching materials (lecture slides, lab-sheets, tutorial sheets) are published on the University’s Virtual Learning Environment as the course progresses.

Facilities also include our own Makerspace with Raspberry PIs, Arduinos and dedicated PCs. We provide various web servers and a cloud computing facility for student use. We also host a CUDA GPU supercomputer Cluster for use across campus.

The Overclockers UK Gaming Lab

The computing suite, named after its sponsor Overclockers UK which provided 24 high-spec gaming PCs, is used by students during their lectures, and available exclusively to Keele Esports Society members in the evenings as a training facility.

The Overclockers UK Gaming Lab, based in the Colin Reeves building, was launched at a gaming event that saw the suite filled with gamers and was also streamed online. Keele Esports Society is open to students who are interested in all aspects of competitive gaming, on both the professional scene and the amateur level.

Professor Peter Andras, Head of the School of Computer Science and Mathematics, said: “We are very pleased to have opened the Overclockers Gaming Lab within the School. This is an excellent opportunity to provide students with a great gaming environment and at the same to have a high spec computer lab for teaching and research purposes as well.
