The architect is not concerned with any aspects of the networking equipment, aside from providing sufficient space (at ITS's direction).
ITS specifies the networking equipment, sees that it is included in the budget, orders it and installs it once the building is complete. UCSD also includes data and video communications networking equipment in the budget for new buildings. These drawings and specifications must be included in the general bid documents.Įquipment and costs: ITS gives FD&C a cost estimate for the cabling. ITS also prepares drawings, called TE-series drawings, and written specifications, Section 16750, for the installation of cables to the building and within the building. ITS gives its comments to the architects through the Facilities Design and Construction office's electrical engineer and project manager.Ĭabling: ITS designs both outside plant (OSP) and inside plant (ISP) telecommunications cabling schemes for the building. The Information Technology Services (ITS) department provides design requirements for the telecommunications infrastructure.
