In order to meet Microsoft’s required delivery schedule,
this critical data center facility was designed and
constructed in just 10 months. The existing 31,000 sf shell
structure was almost entirely re-built, along with major
seismic upgrades, a new 17,000 sf mezzanine, 15,000 sf of
raised computer server floor space, and 6,000 sf of
administrative support space and security reception.
Other areas included a 400 sf patch panel room, a 2,000
sf system assembly room, and a 5,000 sf WAN room. Support
spaces totaling approximately 20,000 sf were built-out
utilizing a N+1 concept. Mechanical/electrical scope
included a new 2700-ton chiller plant and associated
infrastructure, dual 4000 amp utility services from separate
sub-stations with associated house service, and emergency
UPS with (4) 2000 kW emergency backup generator systems --
for a total build-out of 45,000 sf.
To maximize server floor area, the mechanical
air-handling units, cooling towers and generator radiators
were placed on the roof (10,000 sf), and screened from view
via design elements. KDW continues to provide design
coordination of upgrades and renovations for this critical
24/7/365 building. |
