If you were given the opportunity to design your dream office, what features would you include? What things would you try to avoid? I get to determine absolutely everything. The catch? I have to share my office space with all the network equipment. Just 4 standard racks, and all your basic telephone and network wiring. Can anyone help me get started? I have no idea where to even begin."

Ask for a dividing wall between you and the server equipment so they can have their happy temperature (70 degrees F) and you can have yours (74 degrees F). Put a door between you and the equipment so you can keep out their noise.
Your equipment needs backup power and dedicated air conditioning.
