I can't say the size, but we have done what you indicate below. All of the
workstations, switches, and the server are in a separate room with the
Keyboard/Monitor/Mouse in the room operators work from. Most Engineering
effort occurs in the server room and at a remote lab. The one thing that is a
problem, is that the HVAC units are in the room with the boxes and switches.
These elevate the noise level significantly so I recommend that you have yet
another room where these can reside with adequate clearance around them for
maintenance.
For what it is worth, we recently reworked the ceiling in the operator's area
(someone was complaining about the lighting causing headaches) installing
recessed lighting and replacing the white tiles with black. The general
lighting in the room is subdued but the Wright-Line furniture (which has worked
well for us) has station lights if more illumination is needed locally. It's
pretty nice atmosphere.

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!
