Computer Lab Relocation and Growth

Categories:

I returned from Lowell and hit the deck running early Monday. The highlight of the day was visiting the present computer lab and evaluating its relocation to the former County Jail site. This new site proved to be pretty well wired for power and well wired for cat 5 with a present capacity for 24 PC's punched down to the IDF. The IDF rack has expandability to 48 nodes.

The rack will need switch/routing. Work on T1installation is in progress, mostly funded by E-rate, Tele-connect fund!

Glad to hear that you are jumping into things!

How did you folks get a hold of the old County Jail? Will you be sharing the jail with other organizations or projects? Being in a jail should make it easier to prevent people from walking off with hardware :-)

Do you have any pictures you could post?

Yes, several other community outreach programs are on board as we grow out and cut out bars and open access in the very real sense. Such as the "CREW" -youth at risk doing heavy lifting projects, a farming area, and accross the street the recreation department(softball and soccer is in the pipe). We believe the Ojai Land Conservatory, and numerous Social Services are inbound. Senior meals on wheels fleet which is out growning its base, and many other possibilities.
