In partnership with the Office of Residential Life, DoIT will implement a completely new wireless system throughout all residential dorms and apartment complexes this Summer.

Over the past 18 months DoIT has been working closely with the Office of Residential Life to test, pilot and redesign the wireless system throughout the residential complexes. This project is the culmination of that work and has been driven by the experience of student residents through Residential Student Association Townhalls, surveys, and other means of soliciting feedback from student residents. This project will improve wireless access for students and staff in residence halls by improving wireless coverage in key areas, adding faster WiFi 6 capabilities, and installing more than 2,500 new wireless access points.

This project could not be possible without tremendous effort of our student employees in the Network and Telecommunications teams of DoIT.
