On Friday, the Ohio State Board of Trustees will vote on a proposal that would bring wifi connections to Ohio Stadium & the Schott.
With construction, services, and actual technology to make indoor and outdoor Wi-Fi possible, the budget for this project weighs in at $18.8 million.
The new plan will be part of an $18.6 million campus-wide project which includes the installation of indoor and outdoor wireless access points across campus to "create a more seamless, efficient and modern end user experience."
Construction is set to begin on Ohio Stadium in December of 2018 – after the 2018 football season – and is scheduled to be complete by July of 2019, in time for the 2019 football season.
Construction on the Schottenstein Center will follow a similar schedule, beginning in April 2019, and concluding in October 2019 in time for the start of the 2019-20 basketball season.
