Electrical Infrastructure systems in this reliable facility are designed to a true 2N system redundancy, with concurrent maintenance, fault tolerant with no single points of failure. 

Mechanical cooling infrastructure is designed with true 2N redundancy as well, with 200,000 gallons of on-site water storage.  

The building structure is structural steel, designed for 250 pound live loads with a 40’ column bay. The shell is fabricated from insulated precast concrete, designed and tested to withstand hurricane force winds of 130 mph.
