I built a shed once. How hard can a data centre be?

When my company took over a building, the architects put some of the that staff in incredibly small offices. One that I used to work from time to time was barely big enough for one table and two members of staff. At least two of these offices also had no windows, and barely any ventilation. Not good considering the users were technicians and used a lot of equipment). Odd then that they set aside two large rooms at the end of the corridor that were well ventilated and had large windows (so a lot of light) for network patch panels.

To make matters worse, they installed the patch panels in the centre of each office. So we couldn’t merely partition the offices and use them for people as well.
