December 2024 Update
The project has officially shifted to working during the night to minimize impact and install new data wires, data ports, and WAPs to almost every room in the building. These will be activated once the project is complete and the building is ready to switch over to using the new IDFs.
The past couple months, construction has begun on the cable troughs spanning from room to room on the ground through 3rd floors. For now, they will proceed with this work until they have completed the remaining rooms. After which, they will start installing conduits and data ports at each marked location throughout the rooms.
At the same time, the project team continues construction of the new IDF (data distribution) rooms throughout the building. These expanded rooms will house the additional number of IT switch racks required to control the new data equipment that will be installed in almost every room in the building.
We appreciate your patience as we welcome these much-needed improvements to the Shepard Hall data infrastructure.
