During the campus network upgrade, many recent UIUCnet Wireless installations provide coverage in "all public spaces" of a building.

A "public space" means an indoor location where students, faculty, and staff can freely gather whether or not they are part of a department.

• Classrooms and lecture halls
• Teaching laboratories
• Student lounges
• Dining areas
• Areas with public seating such as an atrium

Areas not defined as "public space" include locations where only a few selected individuals can gather, or where seating and workspace is not intended. These types of areas include:

• Offices
• Dorm rooms
• Private research laboratories
• Restricted-access conference rooms
• Most hallways
