Purpose
Campus technology hub where all structured cabling terminates; houses network core equipment, paging/phone resiliency components, and emergency infrastructure.
Activities
- Network routing
- Phone and paging control
- Emergency response connectivity
- Fiber/copper cable termination
- Equipment cooling and uptime maintenance
Considerations
- Rack-mounted switches and routing hardware
- UPS battery backup
- Dedicated HVAC or mini-split system
- No electrical transformers nearby (heat hazard)
- Isolated, secure access
- Sufficient square footage for 3’ clearance around racks
Ideally not located inside a classroom
