Facilities

Butler Assistive Technologies Room

Butler Assistive Technology Room

This room (G 101.11) is located in the Goldstein Undergraduate Center near the bank of elevators. It is restricted to Penn Card holders and is always locked.

Available Hardware and Software:

We have technology for all kinds of needs and our aim is to offer accommodations to support student learning. In order to get the best and latest equipment for our users we often wait for a potential user to request the type of equipment needed rather than purchasing equipment that no current student wants. Please contact Student Disabilities Services with your equipment needs (voice: 215-573-9235 | TDD: 215-746-6320).
