Creating Data Centers within Existing Buildings
Re-Use of Existing Buildings
Speed to Market: Re-using an existing building will allow you to get up and running more quickly by avoiding the creation of a building pad and exterior envelop from nothing.
Sustainable Design
Re-use not Recycling: Re-using existing building elements in situ is the most sustainable green strategy because no energy is wasted in demolition and recycling activities.
The Structural Challenge
Data Center Hardware Weight: The increase in the weight of cabinets, cabling, and equipment requires clever reinforcement solutions that are quick to fabricate and easy to install.
AISC 2026 IDEAS Award for Excellence in Adaptive Reuse
TierPoint TekPark High Density Environment Renovation: This project was identified by the American Institute of Steel Construction for its use of steel that allowed an existing building's value to be maximized for a new purpose.
