Designed to accommodate tenant requirements, the data center can be rolled out over time for increased resiliency in the functionality. Equipped with modular PODs allows quick deployment for QTS customers. The team designed the facility for adaptability. The first floor has data hall slabs on grade on the first and second floor to adjust for tenant needs.

By incorporating multiple docks and freight elevators — allowing flexibility and fast deployment — maximum circulation is achieved. The site incorporates a robust fiber loop with multiple points of entry, so highest redundancy is achieved. The team paid close attention to tenant needs when designing the data center, which boasts flexibility and adaptability — considering the need for amenities that are unmatched across the data center industry.
