The moving van has left, and Ross Hall’s 3rd floor IT Department is settling into its new location in Himmelfarb Library’s Bloedorn Technology Center (BTC). Computer Application and Support Services (CASS) is now The SMHS Technology Support Center, but they offer the same range of technology services and assistance as before.

Directions, please!

Do you need IT staff to take a look at your laptop or iPad, but don’t know exactly where to find the Help Desk? You may ask for directions at Himmelfarb’s first floor Circulation Desk. Or you can follow these instructions:

  • Take the elevator or courtyard-side stairwell to the 3rd floor. 
  • If the door to the right of the 3rd floor stairwell/elevator is open, 
    • Walk through it and then turn left when you reach the wall. 
    • The IT Help Desk will be straight ahead of you in the adjoining room. 
  • If that door is closed,
    • Walk along the wall of portraits just beyond the 3rd floor stairwell door and then make a right.
    • You’ll see a glass door entrance to the BTC ahead on the right. 
    • Enter there and walk straight ahead until you see the IT Help Desk on your left.

Other ways to get IT support:

In addition to an in-person consultation, you may email casshelp@gwu.edu, or you may reach the Help Desk by phone at (202) 994-9400.

BodyViz 3D Anatomy workstation is ready for you to use at Himmelfarb’s Bloedorn Technology Center. This interactive program uses digitized CT scans and MRIs to render 360° anatomical views in astonishing detail. In the absence of onsite anatomy labs this semester, please note that you can perform in BodyViz a virtual dissection of the human body.  The BodyViz workstation comes with a game controller, which provides superior image manipulation to a traditional mouse.

Instructions

We offer printable instructions for use, as well as video demos, in our online BodyViz research guide. We also offer hands-on assistance for those who would like additional help in learning the program (contact Steve Bryant at: seeker04@gwu.edu).

How to Reserve and Access

The BodyViz workstation is located in the 3rd floor Levine Lounge, next to the glass-door entrance to the Bloedorn Technology Center. Due to social distancing restrictions, only two concurrent users at a time may use the program. You will need to reserve a time slot in advance using our online reservation form. When you get to the library for your session, please stop first at the first floor Circulation Desk to check out the wireless keyboard and game controller for the workstation.
