How to Plan and Manage the Timeline for Your New Dispatch Furniture Project

Achieving a goal such as launching, expanding, or remodeling a control center starts with setting a realistic completion date.

The Tompkins County 911 Center serves the 100,000+ people who live in this Upstate New York county. Although much of the county is rural, the County Seat of Ithaca is home to Ithaca College and Cornell University. The dispatch center handled nearly 140,000 calls in 2024 alone.

It’s a common question: "What’s the average lifespan of dispatch console furniture?" Potential customers often raise this question, which calls to mind advice shared by a real estate agents during house-hunting: should buyer's ask why sellers are selling? "No, they won’t give you the full story anyway.” It's a fair point. No one’s likely to admit, “The neighbor’s dog barks all night and drives us crazy.“ When questions about console furniture durability arise, it’s tempting to make a remarks like, “It lasts a thousand years!” But the topic is important. Everyone wants to know if the furniture will endure or if unexpected replacement costs will crop up in just a few years. Here is an informed and detailed perspective on what to expect.

In operations centers for 911 dispatch, utilities, transportation, and security, monitors matter. The 6 to 8 monitors at your console are your window into the world you’re working to serve and protect. To serve you well, the monitors need to be positioned properly, which is where monitor mounts come in.

Building or remodeling a center for 911 dispatch, utilities, transportation, or security is not something you do every day. Control room projects are critical but not common.
