Suppose you have been appointed to design the network to be deployed in three new buildings on a new university campus. Building A contains a dedicated computer room containing 10 very high performance dedicated servers. The servers provide services to students and staff who may need to gain access from the Internet as well as from within the university’s own network. Building B contains the offices of 12 lecturers and 8 administrators who only use medium power desktop computers located on fixed desks. Building C contains two lecture rooms and a lounge/coffee shop. The lecture rooms have a desktop computer at the front for use by the lecturers, but some lecturers prefer to use their own laptop or tablet computer. All the students use laptop or tablet computers to take notes and keep in touch with their friends. An underground duct exists between building A and building B which are only 30 meters apart. Building C is 30 meters from building A but no ducts exist and installing one is not possible.   What equipment should be installed and what type of network should be deployed in the: building that houses the dedicated computer room office building teaching building
