Helped with the installation and design of a network with 50+ computers over two floors. Myself and 12 others created and ran Ethernet cable to each of the classroom. We redesigned the failing network to contain more than 1 collision domain rather than the one the school was originally using. The redesigned network was created to give all computers access to a DHCP server, the internet, and printers while providing error free point-to-point communications throughout the entire building.
