Wachtel named Graduate School deanAndrew Wachtel has been appointed dean of The Graduate School, effective Sept. 1, it was announced last week by Provost Lawrence B. Dumas. Northwestern, city getting connected
Work began in March on the installation of fiber optic cables that will connect Evanston municipal buildings and allow the city to transfer data up to 10 gigabits per second, 500 times faster than the city’s existing network. Contractors and machinery will be at intersections and parkways to bore small directional tunnels laterally underneath the ground. Cable will be fed through the tunnels that will encase the fiber to form the new communications network. The estimated $1.6 million project is funded by Northwestern through an easement agreement with the City. Buildings that will be connected include: Civic Center; Fleet Service Center; Water Department; Chandler Newberger Center; Noyes Cultural Arts Center; all five fire stations; Fleetwood Jourdain Community Center; Police Department; Main Library; Robert Crown Center; and the Levy Senior Center. Work is scheduled to conclude in July. |
