Upcoming network upgrades for improved speed and reliability

To enhance your network experience, HMS IT will upgrade the network core and infrastructure in specific buildings on select dates. These upgrades will significantly improve speed, reliability, security, and future-proof our network. 

As we update our infrastructure, these locations will experience brief network outages sometime between 6:00 AM and 9:00 AM EST (UTC-5) on the following weekend dates:  

  1. September 22, 2024 – HSDM campus 
  2. October 6, 2024 – Laboratory for Human Reproduction and Reproductive Biology (LHRRB) and Seely G. Mudd (SGM) 
  3. October 20, 2024 – HMS and HSDM campus 
  4. November 3, 2024 – New Research Building (NRB) 

To minimize any disruption, note the dates and times relevant to you and plan any work requiring continuous network connectivity outside of the 6:00 to 9:00 AM window
