Section $1$: Computer Literacy and Networking

Ginormous State University is constructing a new building to house its Fine Arts and Digital Media programs. The digital media students and faculty work primarily on the first floor of the building at fixed workstations but need to transfer extremely large media files among various workspaces. The rest of the Fine Arts faculty can teach on any of the three floors in the building and need to access the network from wherever they may be teaching. Students will also need connectivity to the campus network and the Internet from any point in the building.
