A new switch room was built in Mudd. Workers installed nearly 15 miles of feeder cable and buried almost two miles of conduit. More work remains to be done, including construction of a cable pathway and fiber optic cabling to the Greenbriar offices. Some of the upcoming critical steps include determining the order of buildings to be converted and addressing issues surrounding access and security, all of which soon will be finalized. While the new phone system will vastly improve communications, the new telephones do require some training so that faculty and staff can use them efficiently.
Training is important.
Training classes will run through Dec. 17 every hour on the hour from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. except between noon and 1 p.m. The classes, located in Mudd 107, are open to all faculty and staff. Registration is not necessary, but only the first 20 people per hour will be admitted.
