The Criss Complex

The myIT team is working to meet the goal of installing new fiber optic network connections throughout the complex. The First Floor of Criss 2 and Criss 3 will be re-wired and all new networking equipment will be installed throughout the complex. These exciting and important updates will be completed by the start of the fall term!

Additionally, students, faculty and staff working in the Criss Complex will soon have voice over IP (VoIP) phones installed to update traditional phones.
