This winter/spring we will work with an architecture firm to plan two new r=
esidence halls here at Evergreen (~500 residents) to open in 2019.
I know some of this has been covered in some recent threads, but I'd love t=
o hear feedback on my initial pre-planning IT thoughts before our budget fo=
lks tell me to start cutting things out. What am I missing? Where am I of=
f base? Where should I stick to my guns on this plan and where should I co=
mpromise for our fiscal reality?
* Wired ports
o one port per pillow.
o oversubscribe switches - purchase switches to connect 25% of wired port=
s, connect ports as requested only. Make sure IDF rack is only 25% full.
* WiFi
o Install one ceiling drop per room.
o Likely install one AP every 2-3 rooms depending on size, but have enoug=
h infrastructure for future expansion and easy reconfiguration of AP locati=
ons.
o Work with current vendor (Aruba) sales engineers to pre-plan WiFi, but =
have enough
* POTS (my area of greatest uncertainty)
o Current halls have wired phone jacks in each room. Residents call Cent=
ury Link to get a phone.
o Cell service on our wooded campus is marginal, but still most people do=
n't get landlines.
o Don't want to install a bunch of infrastructure that won't be used, but=
having trouble imagining no option for residents to purchase landline.
o Could we dual purpose wired ports to a telco demarcation point? Experi=
ence with local telco is that communication with install techs is virtually=
impossible.
* Cell Service
o Would love to host multi-network cell tower or small cell on new buildi=
ng, not sure of feasibility here.
* CATV
o Install coax to each lounge area for HD TV lounges.
o Don't see installing coax to bedrooms even though a handful of students=
are still purchasing their own cable modems for higher speed internet than=
we provide.
* Other areas I'm missing?
Thanks for any feedback and advice as we get ready for this exciting new pr=
oject!
