​And electrical outlets. When we built our new space, I asked for quad
outlet boxes set in the floors and ceilings on a 12'x12' grid. Costs forced
us to settle on 15'x15'. Each box had 4 data jacks and 4 110VAC power
outlets, except for shop areas, which are 208 VAC 5 wire (3 hots, neutral &
ground), from which we can derive anything we need in the shop, mostly 208
3 phase, 208 2 pole, and 110. The electricians thought I was insane until I
told them we never knew where anything was going to be and things would be
rearranged constantly. They still didn't get it until we compared it to a
theater or a museum.
