Workstream 4 (W4): Total Data Network Upgrade

The Workstream 4 initiative encompasses comprehensive upgrades targeting critical locations, characterised by:

  • Major infrastructure renovations
  • Relocation of equipment rooms
  • Full or partial building electrical rewiring

This requirement can be driven by safety issues, poor equipment node locations or the building requires a full upgrade.

Where Node rooms have been identified as requiring mechanical, structural, and electrical updates, we will be planning to work through the buildings to ensure systems are safe and brought back online after any major switch overs

In the addition to the above, the wireless upgrade and expansion due will take place at the same time as the works above.

These buildings are expected to take months rather than weeks.

What does this mean for the building occupants?

  • The team are likely to be working in these buildings for a longer period due to more complex delivery.
  • These buildings are going to incur a little more disruption than W3 during the delivery. We will work with key building stakeholders in order to find the best working practice for the building. Examples of this are:
    • Working in offices, meeting rooms and teaching spaces at a pre-agreed time, when access will be agreed between all parties
    • Scheduling any data network or power outages for weeknights and weekends where any planned disruption will be communicated in advance and look to be kept to a minimum
    • When working in corridors etc. areas will be cordoned off with appropriate signage
  • The team will always be looking to work around building users as best as we can so do let us know how we can do this and if there is anything specific we need to know about your building and who uses it.
