Let's look at the technology drawings for the lobby level. We have the fitness center right here, and there's a note that includes a note about providing flush-mounted speakers in the fitness room. There is a callout for a wall-mounted television.
There's a card reader to control access to the fitness center. This is the door that provides access to the pool area, and there's a wireless access point. There's a card reader.
Here is one of the IT rooms. You can see that it's calling for six 4-inch sleeves for data cabling to go upstairs and downstairs. Here in the admin area, we have voice data floor boxes.
Here in reception, we have some outlets with two data ports and one voice port. You can see that we have conduits that route up through the ceiling. We have security cameras in the elevators.
We have four data outlets right here. Let’s zoom out a bit. So again, we have the bar over here.

We have dining here, and the meeting rooms are in here. What they’re doing is specifying available data spots for televisions, ceiling-mounted speakers, and wireless access points. You can again see the conduit coming into this closet in the meeting room, and that subsequently routes over to an IT room over here, with ceiling-mounted speakers and wireless access points.
And we have the meeting room audio equipment rack located in this adjacent closet. If we just follow this conduit up, this once again feeds into the main telecom area over here. There's a note to provide outdoor-rated background music speakers.
Again, you can see how they're all connected together with the conduit, and then you can see here that it branches back to the audio equipment rack. One thing that I find interesting is that they have called out right here to provide hardware allowing only firemen’s key access to the stairs. What they're trying to discourage is people from using the egress stairs to vacate the pool area.
So again, this is the pool area. They're controlling people's access to the egress stairs. Once again, a thoughtfully put together drawing.
It's obvious that the people who are running this hotel have good programming in mind. They know how to take care of their guests and provide an enjoyable experience while staying at the hotel. So let's go on to our next drawing.
