New Shared Workstation Request

Service Description

The New Shared Workstation Request allows departments to obtain a University‑issued desktop computer intended for use in shared spaces such as reception areas, service counters, student‑facing stations, or other multi‑user environments. ITS prepares, configures, and deploys these workstations to ensure they are secure, reliable, and properly recorded in the University’s equipment inventory.

What’s Included

  • Provisioning of a standard shared workstation configuration, which includes:

    • Desktop computer

    • Two monitors

    • Wired keyboard

    • Wired mouse

  • On‑campus deployment to the designated shared location

  • Inventory updates

  • Standard 6‑year replacement cycle management

What’s Not Included

  • Non‑standard or specialized hardware configurations

  • Personal or individually assigned workstations (handled through the New Faculty/Staff Workstation Request)

  • Equipment moves or removals (handled through the Workstation Equipment Move Request or Workstation Equipment Pickup and Removal Request)

  • Furniture or non‑ITS peripherals

Eligibility

  • State Employees and Research Foundation employees in select offices may be eligible for centrally funded shared workstations.

Funding

  • Departments requesting shared workstations not eligible for central funding must provide a departmental funding source.​​​​​​​

Requestor Responsibilities

  • Provide a funding source when required

  • Ensure the shared location is ready for installation (desk space, power, network access)

  • Submit a Workstation Equipment Pickup and Removal Request when the shared workstation is no longer needed or the space is decommissioned
