According to Director of Residential Computing Kevin S. Davis ’98, these two residences are pilot locations for the project to implement wireless Internet throughout all dorm rooms in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.
“At this point, we’re very close to launching Currier House and the Leverett Towers with wireless service,” Davis said. Davis, who is also a Crimson editor, added that he expected to announce the official launch of wireless Internet to the House...
“With laptop ownership as high as it is...increasingly, [students] are so used to wireless that they want to be wireless in their rooms as well,” Davis said. “That gives students a lot of flexibility.”
“Probably the biggest factor was that the construction of the houses was very different,” Davis said.
Installing new wiring in older buildings would necessarily interfere more with students’ suites—with the potential for “dust, plaster, and paint getting all over people’s clothes,” Davis said.
