Network Installation in AVW 33XX/34XX Next Week

Contractors from FiberPlus will begin work next week to upgrade the ethernet wiring on the third floor in the 33XX and 34XX wings of the A.V. Williams building. Please be aware that they will be working in and around this area, we apologize for any inconvenience this causes for you. These upgrades are to replace the old Cat3 wiring currently being used in these offices, and will pave the way for more reliable and faster network service for users in the near future.
