This project involves the primary data center serving all City
Public Service facilities. The hardened structure consists of
pan-slab construction and steel frame. Twelve-inch-thick concrete
walls ranging from 22 to 37 feet tall protect the facility. All
utilities have redundant back-up. The center will be a secured
facility enclosed by barbed wire fencing and controlled access.
The public will have access to a training facility at the east
end of the site. The control center and the training facility
are part of a single building although there is no access between
them. A field of photovoltaic panels provides renewable energy
as a part of the overall Green Building Design.
