Enhancing Campus Connectivity: 2023 Infrastructure Improvements Continue

Networking iconIn our previous article, we highlighted the ongoing infrastructure improvements across the campus, including both wired and wireless updates planned for 2023. We are thrilled to announce that all of the 2023 wireless building updates are now complete, with the final wireless upgrade occurring in the Perkins Administration Building on August 5, 2023.

As for the wired upgrades, the Engineering Quad (Caruth, Embrey, and Junkins buildings) and Heroy Hall and Perkins Administration Building have already been successfully upgraded earlier this year.

Our dedicated infrastructure team is currently working on timelines to complete wired upgrades to the following buildings before the end of the year.

Umphrey Lee – August 1
Owens Fine Arts Center – August

The team has assessed wired and wireless campus enhancements for additional facilities to come online in 2024. More details about these future upgrades will be provided later this fall.

By continually investing in campus technology and connectivity, we strive to create an environment that fosters innovation and supports the academic pursuits of our students and faculty.
