Delve into the details of technology drawings for a building's third level, which are similar to the electrical drawings in terms of layout and information displayed. Understand how elements such as an IT closet, telecom backboards, racks for voice data terminations, and wireless access points are depicted on these drawings.
Key Insights
- The technology drawings for the third level of a building depict common space information as well as individual guest suites, much like the electrical drawings.
- These drawings feature IT infrastructure elements like IT closets, telecom backboards, and racks for voice data terminations, with sleeves between floors for connectivity and wireless access points strategically placed within corridors.
- The technology drawings also include unique components like ADA two-way communication for wheelchair access, and specific areas are enlarged and dashed in black for greater detail which will be further explored in subsequent drawings.
Note: These materials offer prospective students a preview of how our classes are structured. Students enrolled in this course will receive access to the full set of materials, including video lectures, project-based assignments, and instructor feedback.
These technology drawings for the third level are similar to the way the electrical drawings were established, in that these technology drawings show common space information, followed by drawings for the individual guest suites. So let's zoom in here. Again, we have the architectural background screened in gray.
The technology information is in black. We have an IT closet. Over here, they're calling out the telecom backboards, racks for voice and data terminations, and there are sleeves that would go between the floors.
There are wireless access points within the corridors, and you can also see that there are enlarged plan areas dashed in black. Again, wireless access points. There is another IT/telecom area, again with sleeves.

An ADA-compliant two-way communication system for wheelchair access is also included in this area. So again, the same logic applies as in the plan drawings for electrical. Common area information is displayed on this sheet, and the typical guest suite drawings will include more detailed information, which we’ll study in our next drawing.
