No one works in this room, which is just a little smaller than the average classroom. But Chapman couldn’t operate these days without it.

This is the primary networking room for the university, but every building on campus has a scaled down version of the same thing. The system it houses operates all of Chapman’s computing. It’s run by Information Systems and Technology (IS&T).

“A lot of students don’t realize how technologically advanced the campus is,” said Michael Vaughn, the manager of the computer Help Desk in the basement of Leatherby Libraries.

During campus tours, guides will occasionally boast that Chapman University is ‘the most wired campus around.’

“I’m not really sure where that came from, but it may be true,” said Mike Ferguson, a network administrator at IS&T.

Ferguson said that Chapman is one of few campuses that he knows that boasts wireless access in every single building. And, as good as that sounds, an upgrade is coming soon.
