Case Study: Emily Carr University of Art + Design improves campus network performance and reliability with Compugen

Emily Carr University of Art + Design completes a 130-switch campus network refresh with Compugen

Emily Carr University of Art + Design faced a challenge as its aging campus network struggled under the demands of high-bandwidth creative work, leading to performance bottlenecks and complex management. This impacted digital studios and collaborative tools, forcing IT to focus on maintenance rather than innovation. The university partnered with vendor Compugen to modernize its network foundation.

Compugen implemented a modern, cloud-managed Cisco network, replacing roughly 130 switches across campus without disrupting classes. The solution provided a stable, high-performing infrastructure that supports fast file transfers and real-time collaboration. The IT team now spends less time on maintenance and can focus on strategic initiatives, creating a reliable digital ecosystem for creative education.
