Work is under way onmore wireless upgrades in buildings across the Athens, Buckhead and Griffin campuses.

These upgrades are part of EITS’s work to continuously improve wifi connectivity and coverage to support teaching, learning and student life.

The $1.2 million project, funded by Student Technology Fees, includes wireless refreshes and redesigns in many buildings including Caldwell Hall, Brooks Hall, Boyd Graduate Studies, Pharmacy North & South, the Davison Life Sciences Complex, the Coverdell Center, the Complex Carbohydrate Research Center and the Griffin Campus. More access point replacements are also planned at the Center for Applied Genetic Technologies, the Lamar Dodd School of Art, the Ramsey Student Center, the Science Learning Center, the Terry-Buckhead campus and Wright Hall, Rhodes Hall, Miller Hall and Russell Hall at the Health Sciences Campus.

In addition, more improvements to outdoor wireless are planned for spaces north of Meigs Hall, along Herty Drive, Myers Quad and the greenspace on the north side of Grady College, and PAWS-Secure access will be added to areas of the Georgia Center for Continuing Education, except the hotel.

EITS technicians are working with departments to determine timelines for implementation. Work is expected to be completed by June 2022. For more information, contact Chris Fleming at cfleming@uga.edu.
