David Carter Architects provides architectural services for data and power upgrades and expansions to Rogers Communications for data centre and cable hub locations throughout Ontario and New Brunswick. We have completed more than 20 projects for Rogers over the last ten years ranging in value from $1M to $10M.
These projects require intensive collaboration with the other professional disciplines to provide consistent and predictable outcomes in highly secure and intensively conditioned environments. In most cases the projects require precise alterations to existing facilities and the conversion of other uses and functions within existing buildings into raised floor IT equipment environments enabling adaptive reuse of building stock.
Projects typically include upgrades to emergency power systems, on-site power generation, diesel generators and associated diesel fuel storage requirements, duct bank design, site and building security, building code upgrades, life and fire safety upgrades, site plan approval applications and Ministry of Environment approvals associated with fuel fired equipment.
