Bell Aliant Data Centre

Client: Bell Aliant
Location: Saint John, New Brunswick

This $25 Million single-storey data centre consists of approximately 25,000 ft2 of floor space for the Data Hall and associated office and MEP. Given the significance of this structure, post-disaster importance factors were used in the structural design of the building.

Stephenson Engineering proposed clear spans of approximately twenty metres in the Data Hall, which provides the client with a great deal of flexibility in space planning and cabinet arrangement. The absence of interior columns simplified the raised access floor layout and design.

Stephenson Engineering included provisions for future expansion of the structure by designing the foundations for future structural loads. This approach ensures the client a smoother construction sequence when future expansions are built.
