About 10 days ago, construction work on 18th Ave caused damage to the network fiber that feeds several buildings on the north side of the street. The applied fix for this damage is temporary. OCIO wants to replace the fiber next week, with work starting late Tuesday night and continuing into early Wednesday morning. Our entire department, including CBEC and buildings on the south side of campus, will be isolated from the campus network while OCIO replaces the fiber. Computer Support will take all CBC computing services offline starting at 9:00 p.m. to apply pending security patches to our servers. OCIO plans to be finished by 6:00 a.m. on Wednesday, 11-Nov.
We apologize for the untimely interruption of service. All things considered, it is much wiser to do the repair on schedule than to wait for another unplanned failure due to the damaged network fiber.
