Starting 11/12: Network upgrade at Olin Hall

ITS will be working on a network upgrade in Olin Hall will improve wired and wireless services on floors 5-9. Work will be done in phases starting Thursday, Nov. 12 and continue until March 2027.  

While we will do our best to mitigate any disruptions in wired and wireless internet/phone service, note that there will be some days where service will be temporarily down. Please plan accordingly.  

 

Projected Schedule 

ITS will be replacing wireless internet access points around the building. This will require ITS and vendor staff to access rooms where access points are currently installed. Wireless service will also be intermittently available as the team does its work. We ask occupants to be mindful of any staff who may need to enter a room to quickly switch out equipment:
