The University has recently received a grant to expand the outdoor system equipment, according to Carissa Medeiros, emergency management director. This equipment includes large speaker arrays mounted onto buildings and poles erected throughout the east campus, including the band hall, The Gardens residential complex, University Place residential complex, YY Parking Lot, Elvington Place, and inside Chanticleer, Tradition, CINO and Teal halls.

According to the estimated timeline, reviews of the project are scheduled in the upcoming months, and the bid is expected to be opened in November. Construction is expected to begin Jan. 19, 2019, and the work is scheduled to be completed on Aug. 17, 2019.
