The 220,000 SF data center occupies the majority of a nine-story office building plus extensive basement level specialized electrical equipment areas.
Fully redundant critical support systems are installed:
- Four 4,000 amp services from power company network vaults.
- UPS expandable to 4,800 KVA.
- Emergency generators expandable to 12,800 KW.
- Mechanical systems redundancy.
The facility has three floors of administrative and building support functions and four floors of computer room environment which can be expanded in adjacent office areas.

Bank of America
Richardson, Texas
A 58,000 SF Data Center, with 34,000 SF of computer environment, dual electrical services, and electrical and mechanical redundancy.
The building was designed and built as a single story concrete/steel structure to resist severe storms, intrusion and other threats. The project was realized with a fast-track integrated team approach. Construction from the ground up took five months. It was planned to expand internally or externally.
Services Provided: Architecture, Interiors, Engineering, Facility Program, and Technical Design
Europcar International
Paris, France
The facility is a total of 2183 SM (22,500 SF) located in an existing building near Charles de Gaulle Airport. The computer room is 260 SM (2800 SF) and provides all critical environmental and security systems: UPS, emergency generator, fire detection and protection, redundant cooling systems, environmental monitoring and building wide security access control and video monitoring systems.
The remainder of the project is reception, office space and training rooms for Europcar Information Systems and Perot Systems Europe. The final project design and construction phases were accomplished as a fast-track design-build team effort in conjunction with French engineers and sub-contractors. The entire design-build period was less than 4 months. A full time on site presence was maintained during the entire process.
Services Provided: Architecture, Interiors, Facility Program, Technical Design, and custom furniture design.
Experian UK
Nottingham, England
This is a new greenfield 83,000 SF data center. It is fully supported by redundant electrical, mechanical and security systems.

Projects
New York City, NY – Key staff were involved in multiple trading station consolidation projects for Swiss Bank Corporation (SBC) in New York City, with relocation and design from the (then) World Trade Center Buildings 2 and 4 to 222 Broadway. We provided technical design services for SBC’s main data center operations and trading environments relocation. This effort included all phases of design of a new data center with communications systems. We were responsible for spearheading a team of 10 design consultants responsible for the technical design, relocation and migration of these facilities. The project was highly successful with noted recognition.
