BT Ignite Internet Data CentreLocation
Cardiff BayValue
£35mHolder Mathias Architects was commissioned by Elinia Ltd, to work on its new £35million data centre in Cardiff Bay. The design concept is based around a three storey high hi–tech building that front two linked modules housing the highly serviced data centre. This provides flexible server accommodation and modularised mechanical and electrical plant provision. Each 10,000 sq.ft module houses approximately 500 computer server racks. The main building has a net area of 35,000 sq. ft. of open plan office space. The external façade is highly contemporary, balancing natural daylight with appropriate controlled lighting for computer use through the application of external louvres.
