Work is underway on more wireless upgrades in academic buildings and student housing across the Athens, Buckhead, and Griffin campuses.

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

The $1.2 million a year project, funded by Student Technology Fees, includes wireless refreshments and redesigns in many buildings.

Wireless upgrades have been recently completed in the Chemistry building and are ongoing in the Holmes Hunter building.

Technicians are also working on more improvements to other buildings and wireless spaces across campus; work for phase three is under way and expected to be completed next summer.

In addition to campus buildings, EITS is installing wireless into the new emergency call stations being installed on campus. This is part of an effort by the university to increase security efforts.
