Departmental Facilities
The Department is located near the center of the
University. Kirtland
Hall, at 2 Hillhouse Avenue,is completely devoted to psychology. It
houses offices, laboratories, seminar rooms, and specialized work
spaces as well as administrative quarters and a lounge. Extensive
supplementary facilities are in two adjacent buildings, Strathcona Hall
(SSS) and Dunham Laboratories. Laboratories for animal research are
installed in Dunham. The Psychological Services Clinic is housed in a
fourth building around the corner from Kirtland Hall.
Technical facilities available for research and teaching include: a
University mechanical and electronics shop with full-time instrument
makers; animal colony, animal surgery, and histology laboratory; and
special suites of rooms equipped for observation, communication, and
recording as required for clinical supervision or for interview
training and research in experimental social psychology and in child
development. The Department has access to the resources of the Yale
Information and Technology Services. Training is available in a variety
of programming languages. Remote computer terminals are available, and
individual micro-computers are commonly located in faculty laboratories
and in small clusters throughout the Department.
Many of the books and journals in psychology are currently housed in
the Sterling Memorial Library, two blocks from the Department. Also
available are relevant collections in the Kline Science Library, the
Seeley Mudd Library, the Social Science Library, and the Medical School
Library.
Present departmental policy is to provide work space for each graduate
student. Some of these spaces are in laboratories, whereas others are
in shared rooms set aside for that purpose.
