Vantage Data Centers

V1 DM8/DM9 - Santa Clara Campus I

SANTA CLARA, CA

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

In conjunction with the V1 Annex and V1 DM10 projects, this phased sequence consisted of the upgrade to an existing occupied building and included two new data modules, office tenant improvements, and a seismic retrofit. The project added large underfloor chilled water line infrastructure, as well electrical room infrastructure including transformers, switchgear, UPS units, battery cabinets, and CRAH units to support 3MW of data center space at 2N redundancy. Extensive coordination was required to maintain services on this operating mission critical campus and the project was delivered using a design-build delivery method, including design-build MEP systems. The scope also covered uninterrupted power supply for critical components of the operation, including IT load. The project included security monitoring, cameras, building and energy management systems and other complexities to the telecommunications infrastructure connecting the existing campus and data distribution.

Project Description

Built in 1953, the eight-story steel-framed structure is home to the GSA, U.S. Congress, Department of Homeland Security, and Department of Energy, among other national security entities. This major design-build transformation within a fully occupied and functional federal office building includes major seismic and non-seismic structural systems upgrades to ensure the facility’s long-term operational status. The NOAA tenant improvement build-out renovates a significant portion of the 2nd floor’s overall space to meet their new Fisheries Western Region headquarters’ requirements, in an initiative to relocate their office and functions into the Federal Building. This project also involves office relocation and build-out for a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Congressman Earl Blumenauer.
