Thin client computing devices and servers have low power consumption and increased lifetime as compared to ordinary desktop computers. The Student Sustainability Committee allocated $7,000 (on a reimbursement basis) to the purchase of these thin client computing devices and a server to be used in public access areas, for testing, in student kiosks, and for loans to other departments to encourage widespread adoption of this technology. The Student Sustainability funding allowed for the purchase of 28 of the 40 total units on campus.
