ADC Telecommunications Builds New Headquarters Around Johnson Controls Personal Environment

          Facility Design to Offer Individual Workspace Flexibility

    MILWAUKEE, April 20 ADC Telecommunications Inc., a global
manufacturer of telecommunications systems and software, has designed its new
$100 million world headquarters and technology campus near Minneapolis around
individual workspaces.  This reverse style of engineering places the Johnson
Controls Personal Environments(R) at the heart of each workstation to attract
and retain outstanding high-tech employees.
    Personal Environments features an easy-to-use desktop control unit that
gives each person the flexibility to adjust temperature, lighting, air flow
and acoustic characteristics as often as necessary to maintain personal
comfort levels.  Individual workers can adjust the air temperature at their
desktop, as well as control the amount and direction of air flow.  A heating
panel under the desk is available for adjusting temperature to the legs and
feet.  Personal Environments also allow for individual control of task
lighting and background noise masking, which helps enhance a sense of privacy.
All units are integrated with a sensor that turns off all functions when the
workstation is unoccupied for more than 10 to 15 minutes.
    Inclusion of the Personal Environments system in the state-of-the-art
facility creates a productive work environment because it offers individuals
flexibility and control. Research shows that individual control of
environmental comfort in open office settings can have a significant impact on
workplace productivity.  In recent studies, when employees were given
personal control of their environment, productivity gains reached up to
15 percent, which translates into millions of dollars in increased revenue.
    "The facility will provide a highly productive engineering, customer
service, training, and corporate facility for our employees so that ADC can
continue to innovate and compete in today's high-technology global
marketplace," said William J. Cadogan, chairman and CEO of ADC.
    Beyond increased productivity, personal control nearly eliminates
environmental complaints to building managers, which can significantly reduce
maintenance costs.  Energy savings occur because only occupied workspaces use
the system, reducing the demand from the central air conditioning system.
    In the first phase of construction at ADC, Johnson Controls (NYSE: JCI)
will install more than 1,100 Personal Environments in three buildings with
almost 500,000 square feet.  In phase two, 350 Personal Environments will be
installed in a fourth building.  To complete the final phase of construction
four years from now, another 1,400 Personal Environments will be installed in
the remaining four buildings encompassing approximately 600,000 square feet.
Upon completion of all the phases, the total value of the contract will exceed
more than $5 million, making this the largest Personal Environments job in the
world.
    Construction of the eight building campus includes installation of a
Johnson Controls Metasys(R) (M5) Building Automation System, integrating
boilers, chillers, air handling units and a variable air volume system for
under-the-floor ventilation to the Personal Environments.  The new
headquarters, a 91-acre site in Eden Prairie, Minn., will house ADC corporate,
engineering and divisional offices and include office space, labs, light
manufacturing areas and parking facilities. The complex also will have a
280-seat auditorium, on-site fitness center and expanded corporate training
facilities, all joined by skyways and underground walkways.
