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).

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 installed in their area because of what they say are highly sensitive 
devices that will be adversely affected.

My personal opinion is....well, I'll withhold that for now.  Anyone gone 
through this?  Thanks in advance!
