We are wondering what kinds of advice, reference materials and examples people have to offer on the problem of preparing an new building (one that is still in the architechural stage) for data communications. In this particular instance, there needs to be data capability in almost every room of a four story clinical education building within our medical college. Any ideas on conduits, wiring closets, etc. would be appreciated. We have the philosophy that, as technology changes, cables will have to be replaced; thus, the design of our behind-the-wall cabling system must make this feasible and economical in the future. Thank you for your help. (This message may be cross posted on other lists.)

Hewlett Packard offers a service called HP Sitewire where they will come in and do a wiring design and (if you want) full installation for you. I believe that IBm and DEC offer similar (albeit more proprietary focused) services. Try calling your local sales office of any of the above and see what they can provide to you. Good luck!
