Wireless status

One of the goals of the Campus Network Upgrade Project is to provide UIUCnet Wireless coverage to all public spaces in the buildings being provided with wiring upgrades. For the purpose of the upgrade, a "public space" is defined as any space in a campus building where students and/or faculty may meet and collaborate.

These are among the spaces included in the UIUCnet wireless upgrade:

• classrooms
• teaching labs
• conference rooms
• libraries
• lounge areas
• food courts

Places that are not included:

• private offices
• research-only labs
• areas outside the building
