Equinix Data Centre

Client:
Equinix

Location:
Toronto, Ontario

Project Statistics
We are currently involved, as structural consultants, in the Design Build of a Data Centre for Equinix in the existing CBC Building at 250 Front Street.  The floor area of the proposed Data Centre is approximately 80,000 square feet of “White Space” and Mechanical and Electrical support areas.

Due to the vicinity of the broadcasting studios, rigorous vibration and acoustic criteria required an independent structural system, separated from the existing structure.  Stephenson Engineering designed a floor infill above the atrium, with a proposed span of approximately 60 feet, with the steel structure suspended on diagonal hangers.  Mechanical and electrical equipment on the roof is supported on the steel frame skeletons with isolation pads.
