Greetings Campus Community,
Simplex is performing an update on the fire alarm system in the Public Affairs Center (PAC). As part of the update procedures, the system will need to be tested.
On Tuesday, March 18, from 3 to 4 p.m., horns will be sounded intermittently in PAC. Evacuations are not necessary during this testing period. However, please do not ignore alarms that sound outside that testing window.
Your patience and understanding are appreciated as we work to ensure campus systems are operating properly and are up-to-date.

Thanks to campus and system-level financial support, ITS is in the process of implementing a campus-wide infrastructure refresh as part of our efforts to improve Wi-Fi performance. This is a multi-phase project with an expected projected completion date of August 2025.
During the transition for each building, laptops, tablets, and phones should automatically switch to the new Wi-Fi after a possible brief interruption in service.
