Winner


The design and construction of this innovative data centre, which was delivered in 24 months, presented the project team engineering challenges similar to those of a hospital, breaking the traditional mould of the single floor format and incorporating a free air cooling system in a large multi-storey building with a 4,200 square metre floor plate. 
The large building footprint,120 metres in length positioned on a tight site, created access and construction problems resulting in the floor slabs pours to be split into four segments.
The unique Danpalon corflute façade which, having been manufactured overseas, was a system that none of the project team or structural engineers had any previous experience and this required learning on the job.
