This summer a permanent and robust wireless infrastructure was added to all Row Houses that didn't already have it, which was virtually all of them. For the last three years, pre-configured and managed Wireless Access Points have been loaned to Row RCCs for temporary placement in locations of their choosing in the Fall, and collected in the Spring. While this allowed wireless access quickly and with no infrastructure changes, it was labor intensive, provided uneven coverage, and left the houses with nothing over the summer when filled with conference attendees (or being serviced by Housing in between).

Over the course of the summer, contractors went through the houses and installed wiring for, and mounted, a vast number of ceiling-height and otherwise unobtrusively placed WAPs. This project was managed by IT Services wiring staff, funded and scheduled by Student Housing, used WAPs provided and configured by IT Services networking, and was overseen by Residential Computing. Next on the agenda is to improve wireless coverage in houses that need it, over the course of this academic year.
