Data Center
This model was made for tours of a secure data-center campus. The client wanted visitors to see how the buildings and engineering systems fit together, including parts that are usually out of sight.
Systems revealed by the lift-off roof
The center section of the roof lifts to show systems below. Lighting identifies data streams, server locations and underground fuel tanks. We made custom lighting for those demonstrations. The model measures 76 by 55 inches at 1 inch to 16 feet. The architectural model gives visitors the campus overview; its removable roof and lighting bring the engineering systems into the same conversation.
The roof depiction includes lightning-protection rods. The illuminated below-ground fuel tanks show the fuel provision associated with the campus’s ability to operate independently of the power grid. These are additional systems represented alongside the servers and data-stream lighting, rather than visible building surfaces alone.
