Information Technology Center Receives Funding
Gov. Linda Lingle released $1 million in planning funds for the design of a new UH Information Technology Center, including an Emergency Operations Center, that will be located on the Manoa campus to serve the entire UH System.
The Information Technology Center will be the UH System’s first facility ever designed and built to properly house the IT resources that support the academic and administrative needs of all 10 campuses on a 24-7 basis. The university’s current communications and computing infrastructure is spread across multiple locations on campus, none of which have the kind of electrical power, air conditioning or communications capabilities to provide the availability of services needed to support a 21st-century institution of higher education.
President David McClain observed that “Constructing and operating a single shared modern information technology center for the UH system will save millions of dollars for the taxpayers and students who pay the bills by avoiding the need to duplicate this infrastructure across all 10 campuses.
