Building services
The systems that make a campus work: power, air, water, safety, data and energy.
systems
Eight services
| Service | Standard |
|---|---|
| Electrical | A main board for the campus and a sub-board per module or floor. Sockets at every desk, industrial sockets in labs and kitchen, emergency lighting on every route, and cable sizes checked for the longest run. |
| Lighting | Daylight first, then LED lighting with dimming. Aim for even light on the desk and low glare on screens. |
| Cooling and ventilation | Split or ducted cooling sized per room, fresh air for every occupied room, and extract in kitchens, washrooms and the server room. Set the thermostat range in one place. |
| Water and drainage | Cold and hot water, waterproofing in wet rooms, floor drains where mopping is needed, and downpipes kept clear. |
| Fire and life safety | Smoke detectors, sounders, hose reels and extinguishers, marked exits, and a fire panel the staff can read. Sprinklers where the local rules require them. |
| Data and sound | Wired data to every room, Wi-Fi coverage plan, display and audio in learning rooms, and a locked comms cabinet. |
| Energy | Solar roof where the structure allows, battery for at least critical loads, and a meter per floor so the campus can see its own use. |
| Security | Entry control, cameras in public areas only, and a rule that no camera looks into a washroom, fitting room or rest room. |
Planning values for teaching and early design. A licensed local engineer and the local authority confirm every real project.
