We have built a Res Hall every 2 or 3 years for the last 15 or so.
I will put my take in line below.

Subject: new construction IT planning

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.  Good idea

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
Try to get the real CAD drawings for the Aruba techs, not just floor plans.=
 Make sure you beat them around the ears on rooms that are orphaned by 8 in=
ch concrete filled block walls that may be neglected.
Do you have redundant controller's yet?

*         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. (we have our own pbx but are in the process of dec=
ommissioning student extensions with no plans to replace them)

o   Cell service on our wooded campus is marginal, but still most people do=
n't get landlines. (phone calls over wireless is happening) and they are us=
ing soft phones.

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. Gam=
e out a soft phone or VoIP plan.

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.
We did not bother with pots in the last 2 new buildings.  They were suite s=
tyle buildings so we installed 1 VoIP phone in common areas per suite.
Our cell service is flakey because the hills around campus and the thick co=
ncrete walls.  They have to build so things hold up to something like a 8.3=
 I think earthquake.

*         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. We did this.

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.
We still installed coax in rooms, but after we finish upgrading our multimo=
de fiber to single mode and switches in 2 or 3 years I see it being abandon=
ed.

*         Other areas I'm missing?
Generators to keep VoIP phones up. buffered by UPS's that are generator saf=
e.
Thanks for any feedback and advice as we get ready for this exciting new pr=
oject!
