The CAEE department is offering a new desktop and application delivery service that runs on the cloud. All current CAEE undergraduate and graduate students have access to the Azure Virtual Desktop. It will allow students and faculty 24/7 access to some of the LRC software through Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop environment. By installing a client to your machine you will be able to access LRC software using a Windows or MacOS desktop client.m.
