Technology at Vermont Academy

The IT Department at Vermont Academy supports the technology of the entire campus and provides wireless internet access to all buildings using a network of 55 wireless access points. As well, academic buildings have public printers available for student use. Internet access is provided by a dedicated twenty five Mb circuit and web traffic filters keep the content of unsavory or high bandwidth websites under control. Twenty servers, a multitude of switches, a fiber backbone between buildings, and a Hot Mesh for buildings beyond the immediate campus, extend the resources of our network to just about everywhere, including many outdoor locations, even the observatory. Most classrooms are equipped with projectors and these, in conjunction with Tablet PCs used by faculty, allow for very interactive presentations.

The IT Department provides support to faculty and students from 8 AM to 4 PM during the week and Saturdays from 8 AM to Noon. Internet access times for students run from 6 AM to 10:45 PM during the week, except during study time. Seniors and PGs are afforded 24 hour internet access.
