Campus IT and Telecom Infrastructure Program

GRCC IT and Telecommunications Infrastructure Program Goal

Campus IT and Telecom infrastructure must continuously evolve in order to provide effective and efficient service that is easy to maintain and update. All future services shall consider and incorporate needs within the long-term master planning goals of the college.

Purpose

It is important that Information Technology and Telecommunications be part of the long-term planning of the college. As the college prepares for new building development and replaces outdated structures, clear and specific understanding of existing systems and planning for future needs is a critical planning component. Opportunities to acquire dedicated funding for IT infrastructure projects should be pursued, especially the development of alternate pathways to ensure uninterrupted service.

Telecommunications and IT are vital to the daily work of GRCC, and the infrastructure must be in place to ensure that these systems remain in service during temporary shut downs, outages, and emergencies. Telecommunications and IT systems will be created such that a triangulation of services will ensure redundancy.

Specific IT and Telecom infrastructure goals include the following:

• Pathway redundancy will be created throughout campus so that service is uninterrupted during unforeseen events.
   

• The current network of services will be surveyed and mapped. Future needs will be identified and documented.
   

• Subsequent changes will take into account the likelihood of future campus development to the greatest extent practical.
   

• Specific Infrastructure Project Request should be investigated.
   

• All future capital development must include improvement to the overall IT distribution network serving the new building
