SHI Data Center Factory at Ridge Road

A retail-esque facade transitions office to warehouse, and features a showroom of Artificial Intelligence and Cyber Lab technology. The bold wall of symbolic viewfinders provide a peek into the SHI partnership with industry giants like Nvidia, where technicians prototype and sandbox groundbreaking infrastructure as diverse as their clients themselves. Behind these bright, colorful elements, a mixture of aisle containment and in-rack, direct-to-chip, liquid cooling solutions assist customers in the design, procurement, building, validation, testing, and deployment of data center hardware around the world.

The project team pivoted timely & professionally through significant energy constraints, logistical time-line challenges, equipment delivery obstacles, and maintain flexibility through infinitely customizable (potential) client needs to deliver the ultimate "Wow". Though mostly hidden behind finished surfaces, great care was taken in the installation of systems infrastruc-ture.To complement this showroom of complex, cutting-edge equipment, clear raised floor panels & under floor lights were added to provide customer transparency into the overall sophistication of the space, even within the depressed slab below their feet. The project also single-handedly solved building wayfinding with a brilliant and undeniably simple yellow line.
