This episode discusses the #1 question I get as a consultant... WHAT ABOUT THE INTERNET?!?!?! Seriously, it is the question I get asked the most and it is followed by a list of interrogatories about how much speed is needed, how long should the contract be, and how do you handle wi-fi. So I brought in a consultant to the industry on this specific topic. Jerry Presley from Extensive Networks out of Colorado. In that episode we really break down these questions and give you some of the terminology you need to be familiar with before having a conversation with a service provider.
Speaker Information
Name: Jerry Presley
Title: Manager
How long with the company and long with related career experience: I founded a wireless Internet company in 1998 using licensed microwave frequencies, that was sold to Sprint. Extensive Networks was formed in 2000 to provide Internet services to Student Housing properties.

Lisa Brooks and Brooks Short from South Park Interiors discuss the importance of interior design and "programming" is important during the early stages of a student housing development. SPI is an interior design firm that has specialized in student housing. Their president, Martha Thomley, was actually an active partner with a student housing developer... so these ladies really understand the developer's point of view. That specialization in student housing over the past decade has now made them a "go to" source when it comes to consulting developers of conventional apartment communities that are targeting millennials. But it was great having them in studio and really understanding how important it is to have an interior designer be a part of the design process from the beginning of a project.

Todd Meckley from BSB design comes into the studio to talk about trends and obstacles he's observing in the industry. Todd's firm is different from any other architecture firm I've dealt with because of 2 things: (1) his approach to the design process that brings all of the important players together during the process and he'll get into the details of that; (2nd) is his ability to understand the physical obstacles that have to be resolved in order for the operational needs of a student community to be met.
