The Weitzman School offers a host of classrooms, computer labs, and multi-function spaces for you to teach, learn, and get your work done. Due to the sheer variety of spaces, equipment, and technology, we've compiled tutorials, tips, and lists of the available spaces, software, and schedules for each Weitzman School-managed space.

Managing your data
Cloud Storage
We recommend storing copies of your files in OneDrive or PennBox for accessibility across devices.
Each student receives 1TB of storage in OneDrive and 1TB of storage in PennBox.
Working from the Local D: Drive
The D: drive provides 1TB of local storage for temporary working files.
Use while actively working, including for projects that require local file access or printing.
Because this is local/shared storage, files may be removed and should not be considered permanent storage.
Do not use for the primary copy of your data!
Automated Maintenance
Windows profiles that exceed 5GB in size will be removed after the next reboot. Please save your work to a thumb drive, BOX, or other cloud storage solution.
Any Windows accounts that have not been signed into within at least 7 days are automatically deleted.
Unattended logins to lab computers will automatically sign out after two hours of inactivity.
Third party software found on thumb drives inserted into or copied to lab computers that are detected as malware may be blocked or deleted.
