Northside Hall / University Center Telecom Closet Updates
New telecom closets in Northside Hall and University Center coming soon!
Starting the week of October 11th, construction will start on four new telecom closets. The new rooms will replace outdated and inadequate rooms.
The new telecom closets will be in the following locations:
Northside room 149A Northside room 031A Northside room 063 University Center room 002A
Please note that during construction there will be no disruption of any network or telephone service. In fact, all you should notice is a small construction crew on campus at these locations and maybe a little noise.
Construction of the new telecom closets is expected to be completed by the end of January 2022. We will post progress updates every couple of weeks.
Updates
Updates will be listed below.
The new telecom closet project is on schedule. Work began on the project on Monday, October 11th and new walls have been erected in NS 031 and NS 063. New plywood has also been installed in 3 of the rooms.
The new telecom closet project is on schedule and is approximately 40% complete.
The construction phase is in the finishing stages and work has begun on electrical components.
The new telecom closet project continues to be on schedule and is now at the halfway mark.
Drywall work and painting are finishing up in all three Northside closets. The University Center closet has a special challenge – the old doorway in the back of the closet has been removed and the existing wall is cement block. The vendor is filling in the hole left with cement blocks, which requires special skill. The hole is about 80% filled at this point.
The new telecom closet project continues to be on schedule and is now approximately 70% completed.
Construction is now finished for two out of three Northside closets and the University Center closet. Most work will now concentrate on painting, electrical work and roughing in infrastructure for electronic door access.

Construction and painting is now winding down. What's left to do is final electrical work, lighting and emergency lighting.
This will be the last update for 2021 – the next update will occur in early January 2022.
The new telecom closet project has reached substantial completion.
A punch list has been generate for a few items that we're waiting for delivery due to supply chain problems, but all of these are minor.
There will be a final update on the project once all punch list items are complete and then the project will be completed.
The new telecom closet project is completed with the exception of one new door that still needs to be installed. Supply chain issues have delayed this and we expect the door to arrive in mid-February. Once the door is installed, the project will be 100% complete.
