Outside Plant Construction
Many campus buildings do not have high speed fiber connections or have insufficient fibers or the wrong type of fiber to facilitate high-speed connectivity. A dual ring of 288 fiber strands will be installed around campus to provide for existing and future connectivity demands and to interconnect all of the main network distribution facilities and network/telephony points of entry to the campus. In addition, fiber will be installed to the individual buildings listed below in order for the new and upgraded services to be activated within these facilities according to the schedules identified for each project phase. In many cases, the fiber cannot be run without the addition of new ductbanks or the clearing of existing ductbanks so there is a significant amount of construction and potential disruption associated with this work. Coordination with TAPs is being done to minimize traffic disruptions and notifications will be made regarding construction sites and the timing for activities that may have campus impacts. Schedules regarding this activity will be kept current here for easy reference and will be modified as more detailed information becomes available.
UPDATE:
Lewis and Tibbitts Inc., the contractor who constructed the underground ductbanks and new man-holes throughout campus, has completed their work. The scope involved construction work in the following areas:
- Communications Building Sector
- Cowell/Bookstore Sector
- Merrill Sector
- Kresge Sector
- Porter Sector
- Southeast Sector
