About two years ago, I tried to do a similiar thing
and came up with the following: 

  Good physical building and security
  Backup Power and Fire Suppression
  True multi-homing

  and... the nads to call it 'Tier 1' or 'Class A' 
  and defy anyone to tell you it ain't. 

There are lots of misc. specifications, all very useful
and you should comply with most of them.. just because
they are good things to do. Electrical/HVAC codes... etc..
