8 Technology Happens!

9 Mess Behind The Desk

10 Hide it In The Closet

11 Multi-Tenant Challenge

12 The Warehouse Waterfall

13 Just Make it Work

14 The Rainbow Effect

15 Is this Safe?

16 Must ve really been out of space?

17 Just move the Blue one!

18 Lazy & Cheap!

19 I thought we had a plan?

20 Maybe no one will notice?

21 Patriotic or Formal?

22 Do Not Touch any of these wires!

23 Does it ever end?

24 Spaghetti Anyone?

25 3 Questions to Discuss Today 1. How does this happen? 2. Why should you care? 3. What can we do to make it better?

26 Technology Space Planning? The Design & Construction Industry tends to Treat Technology as FF&E Leave it up to the owner Leave it up to traditional MEP firms Ignore the Significance/Value Wait till the end of the Project to address Code and Permitting Issues Delay in Occupancy Increased Costs

27 An Owner s Perspective

28 Faster Better Cheaper Technology Past 25 yrs Mainframe to PC PC to Networks DOS to Windows Analog to Digital B.B. to Internet Dial-up To Broadband Convergence to IP Platform

29 Top Down vs.- Bottom Up Owners tend to make buying decisions for Technology Top-Down Applications Networks Backbone Electronics Infrastructure (space, cabling, power)

30 Why Should You Care? Basic Design goals for any commercial building: Provide the Owner a functional, comfortable, safe and aesthetically pleasing place to work. Owners also want a Fast, Reliable, Sustainable and Flexible Information Transport System. (even if they don t know it)

31 Life Safety Concerns

32 The I.T.S. is the Foundation for Technology Information Transport System

33 The New MasterFormat Division 25-Integrated Automation Division 27-Communications Division 28-Electronic Safety & Security Communications Cable Plant, Data Systems, Voice Systems, Communication Services, Integrated Audio Video Systems, Distributed Communication Systems, Intercom Systems, Dictation Equipment, Paging Systems, Public Address, Other Audio systems, Sound Masking, Electronic/Digital Signage Systems, Tracking Systems, Video Systems MATV, CATV and CCTV, Internal Cellular, Internal paging, Healthcare Systems, Nurse Call, Hospitality and Entertainment Systems, Clock Systems, Access Control, Electronic Surveillance Systems, Intrusion Detection Systems, Detection and Alarm, Personal Protection Systems, Integrated Automation Instrumentation and Control

34 Technology Planning Technology Lifecycle Hardware Software I.T.S. 2-3 Years 1-3 Years 20+ Years

35 I.T.S. in Perspective 7 to 12% of Total System Cost Least Expensive Element Expected to Last the Longest Causes 60-80% of network problems Poor Design & Planning Not enough space Wrong cabling installed Sub-par materials specified Installed improperly Over-Heating equipment Overloading the circuits Managed Poorly

36 The Belief: The space requirements for technology is not that important. We can always deal with it later. The Truth: Technology infrastructure is a key element in the functionality of a building. Ignoring technology space during design results in higher building costs to revise the completed design and even higher costs if revised during or after building construction has started.

37 Owner s Perspective

38 Technology S.P.A.C.E. Planning Structure and Layout Pathways Air Conditioning / Environmental Cabling System Solutions Electric and Lighting Needs

39 Technology S.P.A.C.E. Planning Must Happen Early D e c i s i o n s Value Technology Design Consultant Costs Program SD DD CD Construction Commission Time

40 Owner s Perspective

41 Technology Planning Team Architect Owner Mgmt. Team MEP Engineer Owner s IT Staff ITS Planner Designer Construction Team Facility Manager Service Providers System Vendors

42 IT s Perspective

43 The ITS Focus Avoid Wasted client time and stress Frustration in dealing with Multiple Vendors Unanticipated schedule overruns Expensive change-orders Finger-pointing and blaming Other unexpected surprises While ensuring S.P.A.C.E. for current & future technology Sustainability Flexibility

44 Remember the Past

45 Focus on the Future IP Convergence Data Network Voice Systems (PBX/VOIP) Paging and Intercom Security and Access Control Fire, Life and Safety Building Automation Audio/Video Lighting Controls

46 Architect s Perspective

47 Conclusions It s only going to get more complicated Technology $ spend/sf will continue to rise Owners don t know what they don t know Don t leave the gap in service/expectations Technology S.P.A.C.E Planning is Critical Create Less Stress, Issues & Costs for everyone

48 What Can You Do? Include Tech S.P.A.C.E. planning early Make Technology a Priority No Space is too Small to Plan Don t Let the Owner off Easy Integrating Technology by Design

49 Before
