idGroup: Integrated achitectural and engineering design services for data centers.

Genuity

In a burgeoning internet economy, Genuity set out to provide “best of class” web hosting facilities and become the industry leader. The new facility model named ‘Project Voyager’ was created by the Integrated Design Group, Inc. team members and GTE to provide highly secure, managed web-hosting services in strategically located sites around the country. Minimizing each new facility’s time to market was also critical to the project, which was designed and completed by the Integrated Design Group, Inc. team while at Carlson.

The ‘Project Voyager‘ protocol established modular building units and standardized infrastructure components, enabling interchangeable application across a broad range of building locations. The first 190,000 SF Carteret Technology Center was critical to the New York City market, and called for the integration of a POP, Network rooms, and multiple 15,000 SF fields of raised floor racks with 2N UPS to Cabinet, N + 1 Generation, and N + 2 Cooling. The high architectural finish resulted in IE SNA GUTH Illumination Design Award winning lobby, pleasant workspace environment, and presentation space.

*This project was designed when the Integrated Design Group, Inc. design team, including the architect of record, was at Carlson Associates.
