Data Center

SOLUTION

The 48,000 SF Tier III Data Center Project was to meet Tier III Data Center “Concurrently Maintainable” requirements as per Industry standards of reliability. The Data Center will allow for two phase occupancy for an ever expanding demand for co-location and server space growth to the first PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard Certified) Data Center in the Tri-State / Metropolitan area. Additionally, the new building will contain approximately 18,000 sf of leasable class “A” office space in addition to the Data Center and Stafford Office spaces.

Redundant emergency stand alone power systems have been designed to protect the crucial network data that will be streaming through the network servers via (2) 1.0 Megawatt Diesel Generators. Furthermore the Data center will incorporate (2) two redundant 300 KVA UPS Battery Back-up units to meet the required redundancy of uninterruptable uptime.

Additional design efforts were pursued by WFC to further reduce the environmental and financial burdens of maintaining consistent temperature control within the data center space and office areas by skinning the exterior walls and roof with environmentally friendly structural insulated panels (aka SIP’s). SIP’s panels provide an insulation envelope 40-60% greater than conventional wall and roof building systems. As a result of WFC’s attention to use the latest energy efficient products and the use of leading building technologies, computer modeling has evaluated the energy consumption to be approximately 30% less than a building of the same size constructed to the standards of the current energy code.
