This document is a detailed library building information report for the New Haven Free Public Library (NHFPL) network infrastructure project, covering five library locations across New Haven, Connecticut. The project involves adding data drops and network upgrades across multiple library sites, including Ives Main Library, Mitchell Library, Fair Haven Library, Stetson Library @ Q House, and Wilson Library. The network currently supports approximately 420 library-owned on-premise clients, including public and staff devices, 2 on-premise staff servers with 7 hosted VMs, and 3 on-premise camera servers, with a main fiber connection located at the Main Library providing 5 Gbps connectivity and distributing 1 Gbps fiber to 4 branch locations.

The network infrastructure supports a VoIP phone system and a high-traffic public Wi-Fi network, with specific data drop requirements for each library location. For example, the Fair Haven Library requires 3 runs and ports on the lower level, while the New Haven Free Public Library needs multiple floor cablings with varying data run and port specifications. The project is part of an E-Rate funded upgrade, requiring vendors to be registered E-Rate service providers with an FCC SPIN number. The scope includes installing 44 switches, 9 access points, and 12 UPSs, with a strong preference for Cisco equipment and Meraki Cloud management capabilities. Each library location has unique infrastructure characteristics, with total square footages ranging from 10,644 to 120,000 square feet and varying numbers of levels and data closets.
