Your "thoughts" paragraph at the end of your email is how I have seen many
control rooms installed.
With all workstation PC's in a separate room from operators using the extended
mouse/keyboard setup, along with switches.
A key piece which is often overlooked is noise.
So consider how noise will be baffled.
Either by floor material, ceiling material, or added specialty products along
where walls meet ceilings.
I've been in a control room that was about the half the size of a football
field, with 40+ operators, and it would seem I could hear a pin drop with many
conversations and activity going on.

Subject: [foxboro] Control Room Design
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!
