Facilities

Completion of the William G. McGowan Center for Graduate and Professional Studies represents a milestone in the development of resources available for student training in Counseling and Psychology. These resources have been made available through University funding, student fees, grant support (e.g., Title III and National Science Foundation grants), and other funds. The facilities in the McGowan Center support psychology students in their clinical training, the development of multimedia training materials, student research, psychological testing, and electronic communication.

There are also lots of places to relax and socialize within the McGowan Center. When students aren't busy at work using the facilities listed below, they can be found relaxing in one of the lounges (such as the one pictured above), or in the "Atrium Cafe," the building's own cafeteria.

	Psychological Services Center (PSC). A clinic providing mental health services to the community, training facilities in undergraduate, master's, and doctoral-level practica (one-way observation rooms for individual, group, and family therapies), videotaping facilities.

	Shared Research Laboratory (McGowan 1061). This laboratory is used in collaboration with the Education Department and includes a group meeting room and eight individual research cubicles, most with videotaping and observational capacities. Each of the research cubicles houses a computer that allows students to run 'on-line' data collection. In addition, these computers also house various word processing, multimedia, Internet and statistical software packages. Individual cubicles support on-line psychological testing programs, videotape editing and the creation of CD-ROM and other digital video training and research materials.
	Stress and Coping Laboratory (McGowan 1064, 1064a). This laboratory provides students with access to psychophysiology monitoring equipment (biofeedback, polygraph integrated with a computer interface), videotape editing, digital video, and CD-ROM authoring capabilities.
	Neuropsychology Laboratory (McGowan 1062, 1063). This laboratory provides access to neuropsychology assessment devices (e.g., the Halstead-Reitan Battery) and includes a dedicated testing room with one-way observation/video taping capability.
	Psychology Library (McGowan 1052). This library is part of the Curriculum Laboratory and houses books, journals, and graduate school catalogs related to Psychology. Students are encouraged to use this library to support their research. Psychological Assessment Laboratory (McGowan 1052). This laboratory is housed in the Psychology Library and includes specimen sets of most currently used psychological assessment devices. Information about the specimen sets is available through the Marywood University Library system.
	In addition to the specialized facilities described above, the McGowan Center also houses the following general use laboratories: Windows computer laboratory (McGowan 1056) housing 21 computers. Curriculum Laboratory (McGowan 1052) that houses Macintosh computers equipped with education-related software.
