Computer Room Design?

Onion asks: "My company is considering giving us a new Computer Room, and Command Center, as our existing building is nowhere near meeting current needs, let alone future needs. I have seen a few plans for command center furniture, but no real designs or ideas for the layout of these two rooms. We have five racks for the actual computer room, and need around 25 screens for the command console. Add to this bench space for repairs, and things like: a cupboard, bookshelf, plus more storage space, and the design becomes more complicated. We need enough space for three or four admins. Has anyone seen plans for this type of setup ?"

  1. NO workers in computer room all day. by duffbeer703 · · Score: 4, Informative

    Unless you want to get sued and fined by OSHA.

    Noise levels, particularly high-pitched noise in computer rooms are way too high for human habitation. You will go deaf if subjected to for many years.

    If people need to sit in the raised floor area, there needs to be a wood/glass wall between them and the computers and chillers.
