Originally this room was just another room in the building. As systems
and servers were brought in over the years it evolved into a computer
room. Our entire office area was supposed to be renovated a couple months
ago but it got pushed back to the fall. I've seen floor plans for it but
don't know if any plans were made for fire suppression. My boss was part
of the renovation committee so I would hope so.
