Featured Projects
Johns Hopkins University Mt. Washington Data Center
RTKL provided construction documents for an approximately 5,500-SF data center with the capability to expand an additional 5,500 SF over five years. An integral component of the mechanical cooling strategy is High Delta T Cooling, an approach pioneered by RTKL that is gaining wide acceptance in the data center community.
Huawei Data and Command Center
Huawei’s corporate data facility houses both their own and their clients’ data operations. The data center supports 40 watts/SF in 20,000 SF of space, with expansion at the same load density up to 40,000 SF. All systems are designed to an N+1 level of redundancy, and electrical systems utilize medium voltage switchgear for economy and reliability.
National Ground Intelligence Center
NGIC is the U.S. Army’s premiere institution for gathering, sorting, analysis and distribution of ground forces intelligence. The replacement for a functionally obsolete building, NGIC’s new headquarters meets their demand for secure and flexible operations that address the changing role of technology and the changing workforce in the analytical community.
Bond Street Wharf
A complex information technology system and underfloor air system were designed to enhance the experience of tenants in a new 215,000-SF warehouse-inspired facility. The building’s architecture supports redundant routing from the service provider through to the desktop, and the 14-inch raised floor allows exterior walls to be reduced by three feet.
Highmark Data Center
As the first of its kind to be LEED® certified, the new data center for Highmark, Inc. is a ground-breaking model for future “green” data center design. This state-of-the-art facility supports all technological and business needs, securely houses millions of documents, and provides a dynamic working environment for more than 50 employees.
