Project Spotlight - Voice & Data
University of California, Irvine
University of California, Irvine Media Arts Building/Contemporary Arts Center is a state of the art five story, 59,492 square foot facility. It was constructed to house new types of technology-driven instruction, research and performance space. It features digital arts instruction labs, a motion capture studio, visual design studio, rehearsal halls, art gallery, mixed-media performance space, a sound design studio lab and offices.
UCI turned to Spinitar to implement an Information Technology Infrastructure to support today’s growing use of technology and technology driven applications. Spinitar installed a copper and fiber optic cable plant utilizing Category 6 copper cabling, multimode fiber optic cable, singlemode fiber optic cable, and high pair count outside plant copper cable. The approximate total of Category 6 data cable installed in the facility is 250,000 feet with more than 1,750 data cables. This new facility was tied into the existing University’s network via high speed fiber optic cables from the existing music building. The installation included the build out of a new Main Distribution Frame (MDF), that houses the terminations for the copper and fiber optic cables that tie into the University’s existing voice and data network. From the MDF, high speed fiber optic connections were run to a total of nine new Intermediate Distribution Frames (IDF). These IDF’s house the voice and data cabling that connects the locations within all other areas of the facility into the University’s network, facilities network, and the Art network.
Make the Switch (and dim it!)
Did you know that if every U.S. home replaced two (2) standard light switches with a dimmer, such as Lutron’s Eco-dim switch, we could save $1.5 billion in electricity? Now imagine how much could be saved if every office did the same, considering lighting accounts for up to 40% of a commercial business’s yearly electricity usage. After the installation of the Lutron Quantum light management system, The New York Times Building saved 70% of its lighting energy! A single commercial dimmer saves an average of $85 per year, based on a typical investment of $100. That means the dimmer pays for itself in just over a year.
Your energy and money savings are increased even more since incandescent and halogen bulbs last up to 20 times longer when used with a dimmer.
