It includes 17, 100 MW data halls. Risk Cat IV. Of special note, CKC designed shear walls for this 1200’ x 360’ IT facility to meet extreme loads so that it can remain fully operational during a significant windstorm or earthquake.

Through close collaboration with our partners, CKC achieved a balance between structural efficiency, strength, and durability, while preserving long-term resilience. The outcome is a cost-effective, energy-efficient structure that aligns with the client’s vision and is meeting the project schedule.
