New Clinic

Where to bring in 4 phone circuits and internet?
- strongly prefer north or east wall of office (southeast room in suite)
- existing phone sockets are scattered, not enough circuits
- Century Link will need to run new wires from the phone panel
  - They will be by sometime between 8 and 5, Friday Sept. 30
How to run ethernet/phone from office to exam room east wall?
- Can use wifi/wireless, but wires are more secure.
- Cut a one inch hole through the wall, above the level of the ceiling tiles
- We would use plenum-grade fire resistant wiring
- Adhere to NEC 2011 low voltage wiring rules
- CAT6E wiring to quad keystone plates. Extra wires for future expansion.
- I (Keith) can do this.
- I rewired our house for phones and ethernet with a permit, and passed county inspection
- Alternately, we can hire an electrician (your electrician our ours).
- After running wires through small hole, seal with fireproof spray foam
We will be painting the walls and cleaning the carpets
- Ecohaus low VOC paint. Expensive, but durable.
Which breakers control which power outlets, how many amps?
- I can test this with temporary access to the breaker box
most things shown "wood color" will be differently colored
Simplified, standard sliding glass window, counter juts into waiting area
Preliminary drawing
- May change for workflow, building mgr. feedback
some items will be built later as money and time permit

furniture not yet shown - chairs and a table.
This room became a waiting room because
- the office needs to be larger
- the 28 inch east room door is not ADA/wheelchair compliant
Office window shelf does not extend into waiting room area
- provide unobstructed wheelchair path between entry and exam doors

The round end desk will be modified to unblock a power socket on west wall
will have copier, scanner, three computers, is power adequate?
the phone lines all terminate in this room
the server computers will sit atop the tall cabinets near the north wall
- the phone lines and DSL terminate into these computers
- placement may change, depending on where the ceiling vents are
it would be helpful if we could remove the doorknob to the neighbor office to the northeast.
- however, if this is the alternate emergency exit for those neighbors, we must leave that door unblocked.

A studfinder shows an opening in the wall that is 48 inches wide and 40 inches high, with a bottom height above ground of 39 inches. The ADA standard is a counter height of between 28 and 34 inches. So I am assuming an we cut a lower hole, leading to a counter height of 32 inches.
The shelves will change somewhat from those pictured. We will be using four 3 foot by 6 foot metal chart shelves.
- for earthquake safety, we would like to attach the tops of the shelves to the walls with molly screws, or directly to the studs. Let's talk about this. The shelves will go in after the glass window on the west office wall, the painting, and the carpet cleaning, so we have time to develop a good plan.

The size and placement of the window is approximate
- we located the former opening with a studfinder
- our handyman Charles Jenner will re-open the hole and frame it.
- Charles framed windows in our house and does a good job.
The sliding window must be soundproof for HIPAA.
Good smooth rollers on top.
We do not want tracks running through window counter, so the window must hang.
Bottom not decided, probably a thin rail with a brush-seal bottom.
We may use a "sound studio quality" window from Milgard. TBD.
