Server Room Location

Hi guys,

We are moving into a new building. someone else has designed the floor plan for us and so happened that the position of the server room is near the elevator shafts.

Our research team tells us that positioning the server room near the elevator shaft is not best practice as the elveator shafts absorb magnetic fields of the building.

1. Is this true? IS it dangerous for our server to be positioned on this area?

2. We cannot make any changes anymore as construction is almost done, If this is the case, What can we do to protect the server from these magnetic fields?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

P Javier
