Hillsboro School District
PROJECT OVERVIEW
NIS has been engaged in various ways throughout the Hillsboro School District for the last 20 years. We have performed significant design work in all of the District’s facilities and we are the telecom consultant for each new building added to the District. So far, NIS has provided telecommunications design, specifications, drawings, and on-site project management for new construction or significant remodel at 30 schools for Division 27 and 28, including multiple A/V designs with projection and sound reinforcement in over 500 classrooms. NIS has been an extension of the technology services department (and the administrative services before that) in that, while we are engaged for specific projects, we are periodically called for on demand services as needed.
The schools built in the past five years have all benefited by receiving a telecommunications cable infrastructure that meets or exceeds the nationally recognized standards of the TIA as well as conforming to industry best practices in terms of space and power allocation. NIS visited each telecommunications space at each facility as part of a recent review and provided pictorial representations and an overall assessment of each room in relation to conformance to now current TIA standards and NFPA-70. In addition, NIS noted discrepancies and provided recommendations to bring each location to conformance.
NIS also reviewed and updated the District’s current telecommunication standards to bring them current with code requirements of the local AHJ in terms of life safety, nationally recognized standards (TIA), green initiatives, and locally accepted best practices for technology deployment in educational environments.
