A leading provider in the technology and instrumentation industries Hewlett Packard employs over 70,000 people worldwide and has more than 450 sales and support offices and distributorships worldwide in more than 120 countries.

Efforts to provide expanded facilities for regional and local sales and service personnel in the southeast Texas area Hewlett Packard relocated to new office space in the near west Houston Galleria business district.

Collaborative efforts with the local technology staff produced the design, planning and administration of a structured cable system, data center, telecommunications closets and technology support facilities.

A thorough budget analysis and action plan including detailed, CAD generated equipment room, telecommunication closets and frame layouts were produced to assist with vendor negotiation, acquisition and management.

These facilities support the client server based LAN environment as well as special serial attached terminals, support of product demonstration and training rooms and existing PBX equipment.

Complex Project Issues included the coordination and administration of technology distribution with a space-planning model that utilized modular furniture partitions exclusively throughout 80% of the lease space and the need for a "White Noise" system to enhance facility acoustics.  Additional complex issues included the cut-over and transition to the new facility with over 300 personnel over a single 48 hour work weekend.
