The above documents should be available on the Burt Hill site.

SIWS

• Explanation given about differences between tier 1 and tier 2
  
• Tier 1 should be used for design development purposes 
  
• Standards being reviewed - should be ready by July
  
• Faculty prefer to have stand alone DVD player separate from DVD in PC / laptop
  
• Moving to 16x10 screens - can tailor lense to the room - standards to be passed on to Burt Hill
  
• Eventually VHS will go away
  
• Plan to use Sympodium instead of smart white board
  
• Need to provide a cable connect (coax) to each location even if not connected
  
• Need phone by each SIWS
  
• Need screen up/down switch by the SIWS
  
• Screen should be recessed in the ceiling
  
• Screen should be in the center of the room or just off center
  
• Remote pointers / advancers to be distributed to the faculty using the room
  
• Standard for connections is thru the floor
  
• Want station on the other side of the room from the door so that students who are late don't walk in front
  
• Can be slightly angled
  
• Document camera should be positioned on the side closest to the side wall
  
• Speakers are ceiling mounted (70 volt ) with 6 per room
  
• All equipment needs to be on the same electrical circuit (20 amp dedicated) to prevent ground loops
  
• Projector standard is currently 720i
  
• There was a question whether Sympodium will adjust for a 16x10 screen.
  

Data / voice /  cable television

• Standards should be updated by July and should be reviewed every 14 months
  
• Standard for horizontal cable TV is currently RG6 but may be replaced by fiber in the new set of standards
  
• There should be a BDF / MDF for each building (200 sq ft)
  
• There should be one or more IDFs for each floor (150 sq ft) depending on the positioning within the building that allows for the 295 foot maximum length of cabling.
  
• Intelligent building cables should use cat-6 and may be terminated in the MDF/s IDFs. This does not apply to fire alrams.
  
• There will be a loop going thru Science Science east and Science West.
  

Wireless

• Intention is to provide unsecured wifi access to the internet and secured access via wifi to MC resources. This decision is still in committee.
  
• Will need to provide power points in the floor for charging laptop batteries
  
• Wireless Access Points will be POE and will be mounted in the plenum
  
• A wireless study is not included in the contract with Burt Hill
  

Digital signage

• This will depend on the programming needs of the building
  
• Will mostly be installed in lobby areas, not in classrooms
  
• Currently being looked at by a committee
  
• Displays need to be positioned so that blind people do not walk into them (ADA)
  

Mobile carts / storage

• Need to be provided to quickly replace a failed SIWS
  
• These will need to cover the Science building as well as E/W - three storage spaces, one per building - could be combined for Science and Science East in a double sized room
  
• Need 2 stations per building (6 total)
  
• Storage requirements per building, 2 stations, (6' x 2') shelf space, shelving for 5 CPUs 
  
• Nothing special required for electrical
  
• Should be network access and a phone
  
• Technicians will work in the rooms but not require desk space
  
• No other special devices that need a home 
  
• A/V recording - ITV truck - provisioning made to allow for connecting ITV cables to truck in Science. Similar provisioning should apply to East and West
  

Digital White Board

• Will use Sympodium and project screen
  
• Burt Hill will not provide demos of other possiblities
  
• Education lab that currently uses a Promethian board will not be in East or West and will be relocated elsewhere
  

Emergency notification

• standards being developed
  
• BH will specify amber colored stobes and  LCD panels that are tied back to the fire alarm system
  

Clocks

• Possibly atomic with a repeater within the buildings
  
• To be decided by Facilities
  

Review by Program Area

• Examples of how to plug in power and network cables at desktops were discussed. 
  
• Expect increased demand for power points  for recharging laptops and cellphones
  
• Concerns expressed by faculty about durability of sockets.
  

Classrooms (32 and 48 seat versions) - see document at BH site

• No fixed PCs in these rooms
  
• Provide for laptops that students bring in or from a roll around cart
  
• Telephone for all rooms (irrespective of whether there is a SIWS or not)
  
• One power outlet per seat
  
• SIWS is not a KI furnishing
  

Lecture Hall - see document at BH site

• Probably reusing the hall in Science West
  
• No digitized wall board
  
• No TV
  
• One LCD projector - lense size to fit room dimensions - line of sight issues - existing screen is too large
  
• Could use a roll around whiteboard
  
• Provide power for laptops at each seat
  
• Need for Video Conferencing to be identified by Dean
  
• Provide telephone near SIWS
  
• SIWS to have movable head on document camera to allow for easy positioning over experiments
  
• May need sound reinforcement
  
• ADA hearing needs covered by Disability Services
  
• May need to provide ability to record (auxiliary connectors on SIWS for video / audio)
  
• Possible surround sound to show movies.
  

Conference rooms (small and large) - see document at BH site

• No screen for small room - use 57" LCD
  
• No SIWS for small room
  
• Use companion cart with laptop locked on top in small room
  
• Screen and SIWS for large room
  
• Need for Video Conferencing to be identified by Dean for both rooms
  
• Locations of rooms not yet determined
  

Math / Science PC labs - see document at BH site

• 1 network printer per room
  
• May have special PC hardwre requirements for Pro Engineering software
  
• May need 2 SIWS if the long narrow version of the large lab (option 1) is used. Only need 1 SIWS if option 2 chosen.
  

MSC Group Areas

• no discussion
  

MSC Special Areas

• no discussion
  

Typical Administrative Areas

• 1 PC and 1 printer per office - use standard office configuration for Science Center
  

OIT Areas

• Need offices for network and Media resources staff 
  
• Server room should be adjacent to MDF (200 sq ft)
  
• Staging and repair - lower level desirable (500 sq ft) - see student services programming
