When did UKs Wireless Evolution begin?
Although the accelerating growth of wireless capabilities on campus is new, wireless technology at UK is not. It first appeared in 1995 when UK Computer Science Professor Jim Griffioen obtained a grant to create a wireless classroom in the College of Engineering. In 1998, wireless was installed in the William T. Young Library and McVey Hall. And, in 1999, wireless was made available in the Agricultural Sciences Library and Information Center. In 2000, the James F. Hardymon Building, housing the new UK Alliance for Networking Excellence, was added to the campus wireless matrix. Today, close to 50 wireless locations with approximately 200 access points dot the UK campus.
