CCMB & DSI students, staff, faculty, and visitors are free to help themselves to the coffee and tea available in the kitchen on the floor. Please bring your own reusable mug or water bottle to cut down on waste, though we do provide sustainable compostable single use items. Supplies are monitored regularly though if anything is missing from the kitchen please contact Sabrina at dsi_admin@brown.edu and she will address your request.

PLEASE KEEP THE KITCHEN CLEAN – Facilities does a fantastic job of cleaning our spaces however we don't want to abuse the privilege so please wipe up spills after yourself. 

Send email to ithelp@brown.edu and one of the members of the CIS staff will respond to you. All laptops provided to student for the Computational Biology program are supported by our IT staff including repairs and maintenance which we cover through the CCMB funds. If you need repairs while traveling contact ccmb@brown.edu at your earliest convenience to request approval for reimbursing for out of pocket repair expenses PRIOR to paying for repairs yourself.

There are both black/white and color multi-function printers on the floor for use. Instructions are available via QR codes by the printers or by emailing ccmb@brown.edu. 

We also have a poster printer that students and faculty may use to print off posters for conferences and presentations. If you would like to have a poster printed, please contact Maria at maria_cardone@brown.edu. Poster Printing Notes: The printer is 42" wide - your poster will print best/easiest if one side is 42".
