Patriot Virtual Computing & Labs (PVCL) Now Live!
Patriot Virtual Computing & Labs (PVCL) consolidates George Mason’s virtual desktop environments into a new single service powered by Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop.
PVCL will provide George Mason faculty, staff, and students with secure, remote access to academic applications and university services through an innovative and enhanced platform. As a result of this change, the Citrix Virtual Lab (CVL) and Patriot Virtual Computing (PVC) will be decommissioned after exams are complete this fall.
