ACADEMIC TECHNOLOGY MALL (ATM)

Located on the 5th floor of the William R. and Norma B. Harvey Library, the ATM is a state-of-the-art center. The ATM provides the Hampton University student with the latest technology in the computing industry. Hampton University recognizes that the quality of undergraduate education must keep pace with the needs of students who will take their place in an information intensive workplace. The University also recognizes that its teaching faculty should be sensitized to the potential benefits and trained in these new and emerging technologies. In order to address the needs of our students and faculty, an Academic Technology Mall concept has been initiated as a university-wide project that plans to integrate educational technology with the teaching and learning environment.

The mission of the Academic Technology Mall (ATM) is to operate a comprehensive service center designed to support information literacy and promote the application of new and emerging educational technologies that enhance the teaching-learning process. The ATM currently serves as the hub of a campus-wide network that distributes voice, video, and data throughout key instructional and administrative buildings.The ATM is funded by a grant from the Kellogg Foundation and Title III funds, and is designed to acquire and integrate a wide variety of technology resources.

The ATM facility is composed of a public access laboratory, faculty development laboratory, computer classroom, electronic classroom, and the media productions department. The Academic Technology Mall is a student-focused entity that offers an array of computer and multimedia services and resources. It is a creative work environment where students utilize self-directed and self-paced technologies in identifying, accessing, and generating data and documentation needed for their courses and research applications. The student laboratory consists of Pentium computers, Internet access, and a wide variety of software, printers, and other peripheral equipment that are fully networked.
