Utilities works in conjunction with the University's central Information Technology (IT) Department to provide infrastructure support for data/telephone cables throughout campus. Utilities manages the means of providing connectivity to the buildings, while IT handles the delivery within buildings as well as all of the services residing outside of the plant infrastructure.  On-going projects to upgrade the network infrastructure are under constant development between Utilities and IT, insuring that Santa Clara University, located in the heart of the Silicon Valley, remains a technically advanced facility.
