Atlanta University Center leaders Thursday afternoon opened a finance lab, complete with 13 computer stations with Bloomberg Terminal software that will primarily be used by students exploring careers in business, economics and finance.

The goal of the lab is to provide hands-on learning experiences for students at the center’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities, officials said.

The lab is at the AUC’s Robert W. Woodruff Library.
