Location of the Main Grounding Bus Bar in a Structured Cabling System Design

[doddman1]

I'm designing a grounding and bonding system for an existing college from scratch as part of the structured cabling system. They have an Entrance Facilty about 100' from their Main Equipment Room or MDF which is where most of the servers and switches reside. Should the Main Grounding Bus Bar be installed at the Entrance Facility or is it okay to install it at the MDF?

We typically put the principle ground bar near the entry of the Grounding Electrode System (usually near the electrical service entrance), then extend field ground bars to all needed areas.

thanks. I just review the final electrical drawings and that's how they designed it.

Does it matter?
