About Us

The computer center of the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania oversees the technology related tasks at the school. Primarily, it manages, maintains, and develops an extended LAN in our main building at 3620 Walnut Street, our satellite location at 3535 Market Street and the Annenberg Public Policy Center at 202 S. 36th Street. This includes within each of three sites, their network hardware and software, interconnectivity, and connectivity to the Internet.

While the staff provides support for many grants and faculty sponsored research projects in the Annenberg School and the Public Policy Center, members of the Annenberg community may benefit from the services provided by the computer center. Faculty, staff, and students with office assignments each have their own computer with a suite of software applications to facilitate productivity, a school email account, network drive space, web space available by request, network printing, and other facilities. Lab space may be available for research or for members of the Annenberg community without office space. Additionally, the IT staff supports instructional technology services, a digital media lab with scanning, digital audio/video editing equipment, and media duplication and conversion.
