Services provided are the installation and maintenance of internal structured cabling and outside plant network backbone cabling, wireless access points, fire alarm, clock speaker, access control systems, and classroom A/V systems.
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory & Battelle
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, which is operated by Battelle and is part of the Department of Energy’s national laboratory complex, is a world-class research laboratory focused delivering science and technology to solve some of today’s toughest problems. PNNL’s expertise naturally requires complete reliability within their network infrastructure and security systems. Interwest is privileged to have an ongoing collaboration with PNNL in providing structured cabling and security services for new facilities, office spaces, laboratory additions, facility remodels, and campus infrastructure projects.
Washington State University
Being part of Washington State University’s growth in Pullman, Spokane, and the Tri-Cities has been an exciting and rewarding endeavor. We started in 1999 with the Pullman Campus Fiber Optic Cable project and continued through the remodel of Martin Stadium and Football Operations facility, including the Martin Stadium, Bohler Gymnasium, and Beasley Coliseum DAS projects. WSU’s Spokane campus projects include the Heath Science Center, Nursing Center, and South Campus project along with various campus fiber optic installation projects.
Lourdes Health Network
Our relationship with Lourdes Health Network started in a small way in providing miscellaneous service work in the form of network cabling additions, and has since grown through the years to providing services for access control and CCTV upgrades and additions, along with structured cabling projects. Lourdes is truly a first-class hospital and network of facilities, and we are excited about being a small part of their success.
Marie Curie Elementary School
Marie Curie is Pasco School District’s 73,000 square foot, 2-story STEM elementary school project that Interwest provided the fire alarm, IP Intercom/Clock, security, access control, IP CCTV, and classroom A/V systems for. The project was challenging, with install and integration of all the “operational” systems — but it was a lot of fun to bring these systems to life!
Bonneville Power Administration Pasco
The BPA’s Pasco Maintenance Headquarters is comprised of an administrative office and two maintenance buildings where Interwest provided the fire alarm, security, access control, and CCTV systems. The construction of the 40,000 square foot facility was well coordinated and lead to a smooth completion!
Pasco High School Classroom Audio Video Upgrade
As part of a complete upgrade of Pasco High Schools classroom A/V systems, Interwest installed 74 new Extron A/V units along with district-provided projectors in the high school’s classrooms, Library, Band, and Weight rooms. Due to the construction of the structure, the project required extensions or new surface mounted raceways to route system cabling to the A/V outlet locations.
Whitworth University Music Hall
As part of the addition and remodel to the Whitworth University Music Hall in Spokane, Interwest provided Category 6 and 6A cable infrastructure and new fiber optic backbone to existing and new network outlet locations and IP low voltage devices. The challenge for this project was routing network cables between the new addition and existing areas where there where pathway limitations, as well as maintaining existing network services while building out new communications equipment rooms.
Pullman High School
The Pullman High School addition and remodel project was a cable infrastructure project that included the fabrication of multiple network equipment rooms, and installation of over 2,400 horizontal cables, 13,000 feet of fiber optic cable, and 5,000 feet of innerduct pathway. The multi-year transformation of the phased high school included a full refresh of the athletic facilities and fields. The finished project is an aesthetic tribute to the Palouse area!
