In the trenches…
If you’re on campus this summer, you can’t help but have noticed all of the activity. There’re two construction projects in full swing (tennis facility and arts center), Pine Tree campers hustling all over, etc. But did you also notice the trenches? Many of you have (I’ve been hearing from you!).
So here, reading public, is your explanation, courtesy of Aaron Stanger in our information technology division. Aaron tells me that the trenches, cut with commendable precision, are for updating the campus network infrastructure and tying in our new, high tech performing arts center.
Said Aaron: “The trench you see is the first step towards connecting the (arts center) to our telephone and data networks. We are installing several conduits that will provide pathways for copper and fiber connectivity back to the Green center, not only for the PAC, but future connectivity needs, as well. When completed, these pathways will serve not only the PAC, but future expansions, while providing a redundant pathway across campus, making our network more robust and giving us the ability to better serve the Lynn community. We are excited to see these improvements, and look forward to having a faster and more reliable network here on campus!”
Good news, all. Thanks Aaron.. and IT!
