John F. True 24-hour Computer Lab
About the
lab
The John F. True 24-hour Computer Lab, located
on the first floor of the J. Paul Leonard Library, is operated by San
Francisco State University's Division of Information
Technology. The facility was opened to the public on September
3, 1996. Use of the facility is reserved for currently
registered students, staff and faculty of San Francisco State
University. The facility is not open to the general
public.
The construction of the computer lab
was the result of efforts on the part of Dr. John F. True,
Executive Director of Computing Services, 1983-1998. His goal
was to provide a state-of-the-art facility for
the students of San Francisco State University, which was open
twenty-four hours per day. Through his hard work
and dedication, space in the center of the San Francisco State
University campus was found in the J. Paul Leonard Library
and initial funding for construction and equipment was provided by
the Office of the President, Dr. Robert A. Corrigan.
In recognition of his efforts on behalf of the students of San
Francisco State University,
the lab was renamed in his honor on April 16, 1999.
