Network Upgrade: Phase 1 - Low-Voltage Wiring Replacement – August 2 – August 8

The week of August 2nd, ITS, in partnership with our contractor, ComNet, will continue to perform low-voltage wiring (data & voice) replacements in the following buildings as part of our Network Upgrade

project.

• Bannow Science Center
• Baseball Field
• Checkpoint Main Station
• Dolan Hall
• Dolan School of Business
• Donnarumma
• Langguth Hall
• Library
• Softball Field
• Townhouse 6
• Townhouse 14
• Townhouse 15

Recommendation

If you are located in one of the affected buildings, consider working from home or utilizing other campus spaces, if possible. While Wi-Fi will remain fully operational in these buildings during the low-voltage construction, the contractors may need access to office space, conference rooms, etc, to complete the cabling work. While we understand this is impactful, this work is essential to strengthen our network infrastructure and ensure reliable connectivity.

What to Expect

• Areas Impacted: Classrooms, Conference Rooms, Dorm Rooms, Hallways, Offices, Shared Spaces.
• Duration: Wiring replacement will occur over several days, between August 2 and August 8. 
• Disruptions: Contractors will require access to various areas, which may cause minor disruptions. 

Next Steps

This work prepares the buildings for the network upgrade, which will involve a one-day building-wide outage later this summer. Further details, including the upgrade date, will be shared as available.

We appreciate you’re understanding as we improve our network infrastructure. If you have questions, contact Alex Romans, Director of Infrastructure, or John Lombardi, CTO.
