To add..... with cooling create hot and cold isles.

Over build everything.  Power, Cooling, wiring, 

Don't make any roof penetrations above your Data center.

Make sure you have high ceilings.

If you don't know this already its worth hiring someone who's been around the 
traps long enough to know what's good.

Some suggestions though:

* Raised tile flooring 
* Over head cable trays - a must
* Environmental monitors/sensors - APC do a nice job of these little boxes

* Power - I've seen / been in so many places that have skimped on the power and 
are struggling to upgrade it, the biggest Issué I've seen so far is a whole DC 
going offline and everything gets turned back on at once, drawing such a load 
on the UPS / Filters that they just blow. (read; don't let the power go out .. 
ever, and get a generator)

* Big wide door ways - nothing worse then trying to lug in a new rack or 12ru 
chassis to find you've got to take the thing to bits to get it to fit in the 
door.

Just a few thoughts and all the current things that currently annoy me about 
places I have to work in :)

Regards,

Daniel Hooper
