7 Thorning, University of New Mexico 27/02/2008 February 11, 2008 University of New Mexico Design Guidelines for Information Technology University of New Mexico Hospital UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO Design Guidelines FOR Information Technology INFRASTRUCTURE FACILITIES 1. General The University of New Mexico has identified the need to incorporate a structured approach to the integration of Information Technology Infrastructure facilities within the planning and programming of new construction projects and retrofit of existing facilities on the Campus.

8 The University has embraced the need to actively support the Technology environment of today as well as decades into the future. Key to this mandate is the necessity to integrate the budgetary, engineering, and architectural implications of a standards-based Information Technology Infrastructure system of pathways and spaces within and between the buildings of the Campus. Inter building Communication Infrastructure is designed for a useful life of 20 to 50 years. Intrabuilding pathways and spaces have the approximately the same useful life, and are intended for reuse when cable media is replaced.

9 Cable media and equipment for Inter-and Intrabuilding distribution should be planned for a range of 5 to 15 years, which varies based on developments and changes in Technology . The TIA, EIA and the BICSI Design manuals are the basis for the UNM Design Guidelines and Specifications. For specific requirements not included in these documents, refer to the reference documents in section of this document. All questions concerning the intent, updates, and Information not included in the UNM Design Guidelines and/or Specifications and the Information contained within this document shall be direct to the UNM Information Technology Services / Communication Network Services Department (CNS).

10 Note: For further details of Design and specification requirements refer to the UNM Information Technology Design Guidelines at . 2. Purpose and Scope To provide programmers, budgeters, planners, designers and architects the requirements, standards and guidlines, for inclusion in the construction programming of Information Technology infrastructure facilities. These Guidelines apply to the physical aspects of new construction projects, as well as retrofit and upgrades of existing communication infrastructure facilities on the University of New Mexico (UNM) Campus.
