The electrical infrastructure is designed to true 2N redundancy (including emergency generators), the mechanical infrastructure based on an N+1 topology.
The raised floor and infrastructure were designed in a modular fashion, allowing for the facility to double its size and capacity to 40,000 s.f. as the operation grows and the business expands.
The organizations Command Center, Emergency Operations Room, Administrative Offices, and Management Control Rooms also reside within this hardened and resilient facility.
