Oxford University Computing Services
Oxford University Computing Services (OUCS) provides the central Information Technology services for the University of Oxford.[1] The service is based in Banbury Road in central north Oxford, England, near the junction with Keble Road.
History
A lease on a house was obtained in 1957 and operation started in 1958, initially as the Computing Laboratory at 9 South Parks Road, a Victorian building, now demolished to make way for the Experimental Psychology and Zoology departments.[2] In 1963, due to space problems, the staff and computers moved to 19 Parks Road, the old Engineering Building. In 1970, the Computing Service occupied 17 and 19 Banbury Road, having split from the Computing Laboratory, which became the academic computer science department for the University. By 1975, the Computing Service had taken over all of 7 to 19 Banbury Road, as it still does today. An outpost at 59 George Street in central Oxford closed in the mid 1990s.
