We might be getting a SUN SparcUltra Enterprise 9000 
donnation from SUN Microsystems, so reserve a space
for this machine:  dimensions (3'x 5'), power 120VAC,
single phase, 20 amp.  All the rest of the SciViz
equipment will be located on the 3rd floor.

I've summarized the ACITC floor plans along with
Viz&Animation user equipment survey at

http://www.sv.vt.edu/future/vt-cave/VT/acitc.html

Related issues:

 1. My experiences building a lab in Hancock and
    classroom in McBryde is the need for CLEAN POWER.
    I would recommend that we could all share a central
    UPS & Power conditioner.  I already have a 18KV 
    UPS-Powerconditioner for the CAVE computer and
    associated peripherals but the Viz Lab (3rd) floor
    will have a 20 workstation seat classroom that 
    could share a UPS-Powerconditioner with the 2nd
    floor Central Computer Space.  Because there will
    be many workstations thru-out the building, you might 
    think about getting a UPS&Powerconditioner for the
    entire building.

 2. I will be putting together a seperate detailed
    layout of the power requirements for the 3rd
    floor and need to talk with you about how to 
    do this correctly.  I am waiting to hear from
    the Viz&Animation group and NCSA on I-Wall
    dimensions for the workstation class-room before
    I make a recommendation.

I will be sending you a report on the Viz&Animation
interior design, followed by a recommendation for
equipment and power requirements for the corresponding
spaces.
