in that case you should be secure from flooding on ground floor, how is physical security. Ideally you'd want the room at the interior (not using exterior windows as a wall). What would located above the room on any upper floors ? Any water supply or draining piping directly above the room that could cause issues from leaks ? Most data centers I've seen, biggest issue on upper floors is floor weight loading from UPS batteries. And I'd recommend that telecom room (demarcs, PBX, etc) have a separate room to help maintain physical security (many horror stories here). just my two cents
