Facility for Advanced Spatial Technology Lab

The Facility for Advanced Spatial Technology (FAST) is a multi-disciplinary resource lab for teaching in geographic information systems (GIS) at the University of Colorado Denver on the Downtown Campus in North Classroom 5033 and 5032.

Students can access this lab 24 hours a day, 7 days a week so that they can use the facilities when it is convenient to their schedule. Since the GIS specialty is offered as online program, classes taught in the FAST lab are also broadcast to online students. UC Denver students from all disciplines studying the spatial information technologies are invited to come to the FAST and share our vision.

Resources available to faculty and students are:

  • Free ArcGIS software for personal computers
  • Free online training courses in ArcGIS software
  • Remote access to most software
  • 36” Color Plotter
