High-speed personal computers with dual flat-screen monitors and data feeds simulate a variety of trading desks.

In the future, the Financial Analysis Lab will provide insights into the field of investments and the activity of trading.

Glass walls throughout the lab allow passersby to observe current financial information on the monitors.
