Design your dream control room!  Well design it and then have Upper Management 
cut your budget in half, but until then at least we can dream!


We are in the early stages of a new administration building design and I've 
been asked how big of a control room I would need.  Assuming they will approve 
me to move out of the existing building that is......



Stats on our current setup:

*         53'x31' room with raised floor and drop ceiling

*         Mesh Switches are in an adjacent room, everything else is in the main 
room

*         9 to 15 Boardmen, 24/7

*         8 Process areas within the Plant

*         Utilizing 24 workstations, 78 monitors

*         Cubicle in the corner, bookshelves and lockers along the walls make 
this room VERY crowded.



Thoughts on what you like/do not like about your current control rooms?  My 
initial thought is to add 15' in each direction making the control room 68'X46' 
and add a 15' deep climate controlled room along the 46' end that would house 
all workstations and switches.  .  Then only run Keyboard/Monitor/Mouse into 
the control room.  (Restrooms and Kitchenette would be separate).  In addition 
to size, any other design ideas would be much appreciated.  Thanks in advance!
