Communications Infrastructure Design & Build

The Communications Infrastructure Design & Build (CIDB) is responsible for the design and installation of the physical-layer (telecommunications rooms, pathways, and cabling) for the campus in support of voice and data services. We help campus customers navigate complex changes to their existing systems as well as moves between locations. We also manage the day-to-day installation of voice and data cabling to the station jack.
