Meeting with the electrician tomorrow morning for a quote on power for the server room. Tips?

We are looking into the possibility of using a small yet air conditioned closet as a temporary (hopefully no more than 5 years) server room.

We definitely need a more central/larger/ideal room for a permanent location, but this room will be a huge step up on cooling and isolation. (servers are currently in a shared storage room with nearly non-existant cooling)

The current setup does work, so I think we should be okay as long as we can start with what we have now plus an additional 30 amp circuit. Also looking to put a single patch bay in for the whole floor and run 4 x 1Gb Cat 6 trunked between the new room and the primary wiring closet. (until we can afford home-runs of fiber to each wiring closet around campus)

Feel free to comment with advice/warnings/free coffee.
