University of Cambridge Computing Service
- University of Cambridge Computing Service
The University of Cambridge Computing Service provides computing facilities across the University of Cambridge. It is located primarily on the New Museums Site, Free School Lane, in the centre of Cambridge.
The Computing Service shares a common ancestry with the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory. Founded on 14 May 1937 "to provide a computing service for general use, and to be a centre for the development of computational techniques in the University" as the "Mathematical Laboratory" (under the leadership of John Lennard-Jones), it was not until 2001 that the provision of computing services across the University and Colleges was fully separated from computing research and teaching.
