The architectural objective of the Computing Commons is to meet operational and functional change over the life of the building. We wanted as much flexibility as we could afford.
All furnishings are systems-based and movable.
While some things are easier to change than others, nothing is fixed in place. Lighting throughout the building is non-glare and flexible as well. In order to accomplish this high level of connectivity and to provide for future moves and changes, a number of design elements were included in the building infrastructure. Each floor of the building has four communication equipment rooms located so that any workstation location is within 150 cable feet. This means that there is complete accessibility for all current and most anticipated forms of communication without needing to rewire the workstation locations.
