[K12OSN] Help design a new elementary school!

[Rob Owens]

Is the building already existing?  If not, or if it's
being renovated, I have a suggestion for you.  Have
them install large conduit to house your network
wires, etc.  That way, years down the road when
nobody's using category 5 cable anymore, it will be
easier for the school to upgrade than if it was
"permanently" installed like electrical wiring is.

I did this in my home.  In fact, I ran double sets of
conduit so that I could separate different types of
wires to avoid possible interference.  It paid off,
because I soon found myself running network cable and
speaker wire all over the place.
