Abstract: A building includes a data center to house computing equipment including computers and servers. The data center stores data. The building also includes a multipurpose center that houses office spaces, conference rooms and meeting rooms. The data center and multipurpose center differ in function but share resources. The data center is expandable using a configuration of a control room, an electrical room and a mechanical room. Additional data center floors adjoin existing structures to increase available space in a linear manner.

Abstract: A building includes a data center to house computing equipment including computers and servers. The data center stores data. The building also includes a multipurpose center that houses office spaces, conference rooms and meeting rooms. The data center and multipurpose center differ in function but share resources. Computing equipment in the data center generates a lot of heat energy that is absorbed by the air. An air circulating system transfers the heated air from the data center to the multipurpose center. A fluid circulation system uses fluid to transfer heat energy to locations within the multipurpose center and also outside, such as a parking lot.
