Biology Computer Resource Center
372 Morrill Science Center
The BCRC is a Computing Facility in the Department of Biology (372 Morrill Science Center, Building IV South). Macintosh computers are available for use by Life Sciences students and faculty. If you have questions, please send email to bcrc-help@bio.umass.edu or call 545-3631.
During the academic year, the BCRC is staffed by student consultants Monday through Friday from 8am - 9pm. Summer and intersession hours are unofficial, but the facility is usually open anyway. The Director, Steven D. Brewer, collaborates with faculty and students to develop resources and course websites. Don't hesitate to contact us if you're looking for technical support in using instructional technology!
The BCRC offers resources and documentation to help you get stuff done.
We build Course Accounts each year starting in August -- just set a password to start using it. If we haven't already built an account for your life science class yet, ask if we can build one for the course you are taking.
Planning is underway for the BCRC to migrate from its current location to space that will be freshly renovated -- probably next fall. Watch for exciting new developments!
Thank you to everyone who responded to the survey I sent out early in the summer. I'm trying to preserve what you like about the BCRC and give you the additional capabilities you say you want.
