SNHA, a wholly owned subsidiary of Woolpert, designed a hyperscale data center campus comprising three data centers and core IT spaces interconnected by a shared administration building. The administration building includes offices, welfare facilities, a shipping and receiving area, and enhanced landscape design. This building represents the first of three buildings on an 830,941-square-foot site.

The rooftop mechanical system utilizes air-cooled chillers with integrated pump skids and 3,500-gallon vertical storage tanks, while the electrical design serves a capacity of 18 megawatts with prepackaged exterior low-voltage skids and block redundant generators.
Within a single-story steel framed building with tilt-up precast construction, there are seven data halls (referred to as xScale business suites) with 24 cabinet rows. Notably, this represents the second xScale deployment in North America.

Working closely alongside engineers, consultants, and contractors, the project team adapted the client’s reference design to meet Mexico specific requirements while maintaining the more familiar layout used across the program.
