We faced the same situation in a building with multiple tenants.
Researchers with labs didn't want wireless because they were concerned
that it would interfere with their equipment (They didn't want to spend
the money to shield the equipment) while people in the office spaces
wanted it.
The
I'd ask for some proof (nicely). If needed, you can get some spectrum
analysis software to see what's actually happening in the RF space in
their labs. Ultimately I'd leave it up to the occupants of the building
to decide whether they want WiFi or not (and get the decision in writing).

We had to deal with this also. The location in question was newly
constructed with
shielding to prevent interference from the outside world to their very
sensitive
equipment. The thing is, they requested an AP in that area that can be
turned on/off
at their discretion. This goes against our

Has anyone had to deal with researchers claiming that 802.11 RF causes
interference with their laboratory experiments and apparatus? We're getting
rumblings out of our Physics department - they are trying to prevent APs from
getting

The faculty in our Physics department had concerns as well as one
