As in many data center hubs in the U.S., Silicon Valley is a place where you constantly get to compare your project to other data centers under construction. Sometimes, you see how you’re making better progress than some others, and, sometimes, you see something that you can’t wait to try out on your next one.
Vantage Data Centers and DPR Construction have been collaborating on a three-phase data center campus in the area and made a commitment to using prefabrication for the exterior wall systems. We found our swing with prefabrication, and we were proud to see one of our phases, which started well after some nearby projects, was fully enclosed before those that had more traditional stick-framed designs with heavy concrete precast or metal panel systems.
