Size

60,000 sq ft warehouse-to-data-center conversion | 9,500 sq ft white space

Phase 1 consisted of converting the current warehouse into a 60,000 sq ft data center, which included 9,500 sq ft of white space with 2.7 MW of IT load. Phase 2 of the project, which consisted of an addition to the existing warehouse, required the project team to complete the design, build, start-up and commissioning within a tight schedule of only six months. The mechanical system features prefabricated modules—designed, fabricated, and constructed by U.S. Engineering—which house the chiller, chilled and condenser pumps, expansion tank, heat exchanger, chemical treatment and controls.
