Gault Manor Goes Online
dwaldron August 20th, 2008
Wooster’s newest residence hall, beautiful Gault Manor, is set to open its doors to its first residents. IT’s Digital Infrastructure group played a significant role in preparing the building for its momentous opening. The building’s construction required that 300 telephone cable pairs (part of the campus telephone system) be rerouted. It was also necessary to rerout 36 stands of fiber optic cable (part of CoW’s data network) and a coaxial cable trunk (part of CoW’s cable TV distribution network). The Digital Infrastructure group oversaw this work. The group also oversaw the installation of the building’s internal cabling for data, voice and video communication, and for connecting the building to these three College networks. ScotZone, the College’s authenticated, encrypted wireless network is accessible throughout the building. The Digital Infrastructure group also oversaw the installation of the media equipment in the building’s shared media room. This equipment includes a ceiling mounted projector, a DVD/VCR combo unit, speakers, appropriate control units and a courtesy port to allow the connection of a laptop to the audio/visual system.
