The Leith Wheeler Investment Research Lab (LWIRL) at the UBC Sauder School of Business has recently completed upgrades to the room’s audio-visual system and computer equipment. These upgrades provide users with a faster, more seamless lab experience.
“Located on the second floor of Sauder School of Business, the Leith Wheeler Lab provides UBC students and faculty with access to leading edge financial analysis software and real-time international financial data,” says Fei Song, Investment Labs Coordinator at the Canaccord Learning Commons. “This lab enhances UBC students’ learning experiences and competitiveness in their future careers by deepening their knowledge of the software widely used in the financial industry and allowing them to apply the concepts they learn in the classroom in the hands-on learning environment.”
This upgrade project is part of a series of space improvements being carried out at David Lam Management Research Library and Canaccord Learning Commons lab spaces. In September 2022, the Wayne Deans Investment Analysis Centre installed new screens and other upgrades, and in April 2023, the Digital Media Lab and Sound Recording Room completed several audio-visual equipment upgrades.
Lab spaces or terminals at can be booked by UBC Sauder students online through the Sauder Student Room Booking System. Non-Sauder students can use the Leith Wheeler Lab and the Digital Media Lab on a drop-in basis; please inquire at the Front Service Desk for help with signing on the machines.
