Acadia’s Technology Services:
Configuring & Managing a University IT Environment
Gary Doucette
Executive Director of Technology Services
Acadia University
Abstract
Universities have long been places where boundaries are pushed and innovations are born. Acadia University has built a significant and complex technology infrastructure to support learning, research, student lifestyles and administration. Students, faculty, staff, and visitors bring a wide spectrum of devices to campus and expect to fit them seamlessly into the fabric of libraries, classrooms, offices, casual spaces and living spaces. This presentation will outline the IT infrastructure that Acadia University has deployed for that purpose and provide insight into what the future might bring.
