OIT will be hard at work over the Winter Shutdown performing maintenance and upgrades to prepare for the new year. We have scheduled this to impact the fewest people.
Wednesday, December 27th
From 3:00 PM to approximately 09:00 PM we will upgrade edge switches in half of campus buildings (North of Route 2). This will require each switch to be offline for approximately 20 minutes. During this time, there will be no network (wired and wireless) in the building, so all computers, access points, phones and POE locks will be off line.
This will impact the following buildings (times are approximate):

Other maintenance activities will be done in addition to those listed above, which will cause no disruptions to the general community. Any that may cause any disruptions specific to certain departments have been coordinated directly with those departments.
This work will NOT affect access to email, calendar, drive or other G-Suite apps (Google Apps for Education) from off-campus.
We do this to help get ready for the upcoming semester and to make sure everything is working well for our community. As always, if this poses an issue for you or your department please contact me as soon as possible, we will help reduce the impact on your work. Thank you,
