Service hours: Our service hours are generally Monday through Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm for Faculty and Staff repairs.

STUDENTS - Specific hours may be posted for student walk up service at which time you are free to just drop by and leave your computer with us for support.  We do not always offer walk up hours so please call ahead or email us in order to set up an appointment or to talk to one of the IT staff members (Tim Garrison - 203-432-8180 or Bob Piscatelli - 203-432-5273).
