BUILDING 2 REMODEL
Inspections by building officials and the State Fire Marshal were successful, and Lane received a certificate of occupancy for the completely remodeled building. IT staff continue to move into their offices and Lane moving crews, carpenters, electricians and IT staff are installing furniture, wiring, teaching podiums, screens, white boards, projectors, computers and other equipment into the enhanced classrooms and Distance Learning classrooms. The newly remodeled data center on the ground floor provides upgraded routers and servers for better communication at peak use hours. The equipment is housed in racks that supply cooled air directly to the electronics from an updated HVAC system. The data center cooling is expected to be more effective and uses only half the energy. Redundant HVAC systems will automatically switch on in the event of a cooling system failure to protect the equipment from overheating. Contact David Amundson, (541) 463-3455.
