Intra-Building Wiring Projects Updates |
| |
Phase I Projects
Biological Sciences II
Departmental Contact: Larry Murdock
The Bio II project, requiring new entrance cable, workstation wiring, riser and comm closet work, fiber terminations and testing, has been completed. The Bio II building now has approximately 90 miles of Cat5e workstation wiring in place.
| 11/01/00-2/15/01 |
Occupants mark up floor plans with drop locations. OIT prepares riser diagrams, scope of work for workstation wiring, etc. |
| 3/15-4/30/01 |
Comm closets prepared for impending work (existing phone wiring is "floated" off the backboards to make room for new wiring, terminal blocks, etc.). |
| 4/9/01 -11/15/00 |
Workstation wiring project in full swing. Fifteen communications closets upgraded and over 1000 drops (each drop has 3 RJ45 ports) installed, terminated, and tested. Fiber terminated and tested and two DBS systems installed to replace old "10A2" phone systems. |
| 2/4/02-4/15/02 |
Create punch list with input from departmental contact and work with vendor to ensure all items resolved. |
| 4/30/02 |
A "post-mortem" meeting took place to discuss project successes and things that could've been done differently or better. Overall comments: project was a success. Valuable feedback was gathered to take forward and improve on future projects. |
| 7/17-8/13/02 |
The phone cutover to the new wiring occurred and all old cabling is being removed (from the ceiling to the floor) within the communications closets. |
| 8/22/02 |
Removal of old wiring in some areas created riser openings, which need to be firestopped. Also, we need to have 3 electrical emergency generated circuits extended to network equipment rack |
| 10/4/02 |
FM estimate for firestopping and e-power work approved. |
| 11/06/02 |
E-power work and firestopping to take place. |
| 12/02 |
E-power work completed. Project complete! |
Note: During the course of the project: FM created space in the basement for custodial equipment (floor buffers, etc.) which eliminated the equipment from being stored in the comm closets and reduced the chance of disrupting data and voice services. Sub and main terminals were re-keyed.

Davidson Library
Departmental Contact: Larry Carver
Install 52 Workstation Drops
Install 52 workstation drops in many areas of the Library. This project is complete with all 52 drops in place.
| 1/5/02 |
Research "as-built" drawings for existing communications infrastructure, including conduits, floor ducts, cable tray, book elevator, and a comm closet in a Men's restroom on the 4th floor. We made full use of the "discovered" conduit, which was built into the 4-story section and had never been utilized since it was built in 1975. Pull lines were still there and were only useful to pull in new pull lines! |
| 2/3/02 -4/30/02 |
Installation, terminating and testing of the workstation drops. |
| 1/03 |
Post-mortem was held 1/30/03. |
Protect Five Shared Spaces Containing Custodial and Communications
The 8-story section of the Library was built with data and voice riser conduits located in the same rooms as the custodial mop sinks and electrical panels. Not ideal placement for communications and network needs. The cleaning fluids create a humid and corrosive environment for comm and network equipment and the mop handles do a great job of shorting out phone lines and disconnecting patch cables.
| 12/01 |
Review project with Comm Servs for best way to proceed. Discuss plans with occupants. |
| 1/4/02 |
Begin plan to protect network gear from custodial broom and mop handles and water and cleaning fluids. |
| 2/4/02 |
Have 3-3" conduit sleeves cored into "vault" to provide path to migrate network gear and patch cables into a dry and safe environment. Have ladder tray installed to provide support for cables in the vault. Patch cable "bundles" of the same length created to prepare for cutover and to eliminate the chance of a longer than needed patch cable being installed after our work was done. |
| 3/7/02 |
Assist occupants with cutover from old network gear to HP Procurve on 1st floor. Work in four other shared environments was not quite as extensive as the first floor. We repeated the preparation to cutover from old network gear to new and created patch cable "bundles" in remaining closets. |
| 7/02 |
MOST of the work completed July 2002. |
| 11/21/02 |
Last bit of work in comm closet completed. |
| 1/03 |
Post-mortem was held 1/30/03. |
