Notable Projects
The client planned to transform a historic 1906 prison into a state-of-the-art data center, serving as a key point-of-presence in their 400-mile fiber-optic network connecting New York City and Ashburn, Virginia. Warehaus developed a master plan for the campus, incorporating site concepts, program massing, and weather analyses to provide options. The project includes offices, a docking area, a generator yard, a chiller plant, a mechanical room, and specialized data pods. The data pods feature high-security access controls, CRAC units with hot aisle containment, and an FM-200 fire suppression system. Adjacent open office areas accommodate flexible workspaces with hoteling stations, soft seating, and acoustically optimized environments.

This project overcame the challenges of a constrained site, bordered by a stream, railroads, residential, and industrial areas. The 50,000 SF Tier 2+ facility integrated a historic building, repurposing its secure masonry envelope to house electrical and mechanical systems while reducing noise impact on the community. A new tilt-up concrete structure provided flexibility for single or multiple tenants, while decorative stainless steel screens enhanced branding and passive climate control. Thoughtful site planning minimized noise pollution, showcasing Warehaus’ ability to balance security, functionality, and contextual sensitivity.
