Data Center Renovation

The State University Construction Fund selected Salas O’Brien as the lead professional to provide comprehensive mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design services to modernize a mission critical campus data center for Binghamton University. The team developed a meticulous construction phasing plan that maintains cooling, UPS/emergency power, and fire protection throughout demolition and asbestos abatement, protecting continuous campus operations. Our upgraded design features a Novec 1230 clean agent fire protection system, hot aisle/cold aisle containment, and an N+1 in-row cooling system with free cooling capability, all designed to reduce energy consumption.

Dual N+1 UPS units, expandable to 200 kVA, and infrastructure planned for a future generator upgrade increased resilience and uptime. Our integrated approach provided SUCF with a flexible and efficient data center, ready for future growth and evolving technology needs.
