Since its opening in September of 1995, the Technology and Research Center has become the hub of academic activities. Here students gather to research topics through a variety of media. The Center houses our library facility, and not only offers the traditional stacks and reference material but is enhanced via online research databases, encyclopedias and OPAC searches of our own collection all within a fully networked environment.
Within the Center, students may read, work independently or collaboratively, use the computers for online work or writing papers. An IB section is reserved for special projects in the Baccalaureate program. Teachers from various departments are available during any period to assist students.
In our Multi-purpose DeMatteis Hall there is a projection monitor that will project DVDs, Video, Networked Computer Applications, Online applications and Educational Cable Programs onto a large screen. Group presentations for classes as well as faculty staff development are held here.
Our networked IBM computers and integrated MAC lab along with an assortment of peripherals (digital camera, networked laser printers, scanners, color laser printer) provide Xaverian with the latest technology. Wireless cababilities throughout the building further offer Internet access into every classroom.
Software for every discipline has been carefully selected in order to integrate technology into our curriculum through the efforts of our Principals, Dean of Faculty and full-time Technology Center staff.
