Network Modernization Project

Transforming Connectivity at Mines

Mines has launched the Network Modernization Project, a multi-year initiative to upgrade the campus network. This project aims to advance academic and research excellence by delivering faster, more reliable connections, expanding campus-wide wireless coverage, and increasing network capacity. The enhanced infrastructure will also strengthen network security and better support the evolving needs of our campus community.

Upgrades will be implemented building by building throughout 2025 and 2026. As your building’s installation date approaches, you’ll receive an email with all the details you’ll need to prepare.
