Granted, the whole campus benefits from being connected, and it guarantees newer facilities are covered, but as you mentioned here, most people probably just use it for FaceBook, or whatever. It seems odd to me that needs for connectivity motivated by something so trivial would be extremely low priority, and would have to wait for years to be budgeted for. On the plus side, that means you take really good care of the student body! I’d like to know why the university is willing to spend so much money on providing access points in these odd locations.

I believe that one should cover most of the practice rooms in that area. I do agree that the building in general is not very well covered at this time but we do have about 5 of them in the building. I think our plan is to work on that building and the Art building over the next few months. About 2 weeks ago we added one more access point in room 117.

If I'm correct I think there is only one access point on the 3rd floor (which is in the music lounge). just a friendly comment from GTS, the music building seems to have poor coverage on the north side, which includes all the practice rooms, class rooms/faculty rooms and Bjorling Recital Hall.
