Engineering & Architecture Department

Our Vision is to design the critical infrastructure enabling humanity to connect, create, share, and dream together. We are a team of Design Managers, Project Coordinators, Engineering and Architectural Subject Matter Experts. We leverage our expertise to create site-specific adaptations of the cutting-edge Vantage Data Center prototype that meet our customers’ requirements. Our purpose is to deliver high quality and consistent facilities to our Customers at speed – and have fun while we do. We do this all for our Customers, Construction and Site Operations teams.

The Engineering & Architecture Department goals are:

• Safety – Ensure all safety measures are included in the design and implemented in the data center construction.
• Customer Requirements – Ensure the design includes all external and internal customer requirements and that the design is implemented accurately in the field.
• On-Time Delivery – Ensure that all design materials are produced and/or reviewed in a timely manner to support on-time delivery of projects.
• Budget – Ensure that all design materials allow for maximum flexibility by Construction to meet budget goals and customer requirements.
• Operational Reliability – Ensure the design and implementation of the design meet the required levels of redundancy during failures and allow for continuous operation during preventative maintenance activities.
• Operational Efficiency – Ensure the design and implementation of the design meet the requirements for responsible resource use efficiency by maximizing levels of Power and Water Usage Effectiveness (PUE and WUE) through the most cost effective means.
• Sustainability – Ensure during the design process that all sustainability options are evaluated and those meeting the Vantage Sustainability team’s criteria are accurately implemented.
