DataCenter i Crissier, Sveits

BrainServe SA's DataCenter is located in Crissier, Switzerland, and is built on a 6,500 m2 plot of land in an industrial and commercial zone, previously the site of an old factory. This state-of-the-art facility is designed to house high-security electronic data processing centers, making it a leader in Europe. The architectural concept prioritizes functionality and simplicity to meet the project's demanding requirements, resulting in a modular design that provides the flexibility needed for installing various appliances.

Eksteriør: 'Svart boks'-design

The building's exterior is designed to be a 'black box' without windows, using materials such as black clinker brick, painted concrete, and yellow anodized aluminium. This design approach ensures the building integrates well with its surroundings while fulfilling its functional requirements. Inside, two-thirds of the space is dedicated to technical equipment, and the remaining third is allocated to computer rooms that house servers.

Interiørdesign og funksjonalitet

The interior of the building is organized with a fine grid, dictated by the standard 60 cm size of server racks, allowing for flexible and functional area distribution. This design also facilitates optimal internal circulation and escape routes, and incorporates special climate cabinets for direct cooling, ensuring a pleasant and healthy indoor climate.

Prosjektvarighet og volum

The data center has a building volume of 22,344 cubic meters. Designed by CCHE Architecture et Design SA in Lausanne, the project commenced in June 2010 and was completed by June 2011. The project has been designed to meet rigorous high-security standards, making it an exemplar in its field.
