Data Centres
Data Centre Design for all Industries
The processing and storage of data accounts for three percent of the world’s energy consumption, and it’s growing exponentially. Data has become a foundational building block in almost every industry. Advancements such as artificial intelligence and machine learning are only increasing its relevance. As a result, data centre operations and investment have expanded, with organizations in IT, healthcare, finance, research and development, higher education, and beyond needing flexible, energy-efficient solutions. At HDR, we are committed to efficient, secure and sustainable data centre design. From small edge computing centres to enterprise facilities to hyperscale campuses, we help companies of all sizes develop modular, scalable solutions that help them prepare for an unknown future.
Unmatched Expertise in Mission Critical Facilities
Our experts have spent their entire careers focused on the design, construction and operation of mission-critical facilities. We have successfully designed dozens of mission-critical facilities across the globe for a variety of public and private clients. We are widely recognized for our ability to design and execute highly technical buildings that operate with advanced building systems. Security protocols and document controls are in place to handle and safeguard the most sensitive materials, protecting the integrity of the security levels required by a given project.
Solutions that Prioritize Cybersecurity, Sustainability and Civic Responsibility
Our services go beyond architecture and engineering to offer comprehensive strategies for IT and Big Data, including infrastructure that supports cybersecurity, energy management, and commissioning. Our mission-critical facilities portfolio includes the first data centre powered by fuel cells; simultaneous delivery of multiple data centres nationwide; and command centers featuring highly secure C4I systems. Recognizing the growing presence of these facilities in society, we also seek opportunities to weave them into the economic and social fabric of communities.
