Building permits have been issued for the construction of HCA’s new data center in Nashville, TN, which will be built by DPR, along with design-build partner PageSoutherlandPage.

This new data center is an expandable facility, capable of meeting HCA’s immediate needs and accommodating future growth. The initial phase is the construction of a 100,000-sq.-ft. structure with a 30,000-sq.-ft. raised floor with 12 MW systems and related utilities, 10,000-sq.-ft. office area, and warm shell space for future expansion.

DPR and PageSouthlerlandPage have a long history of collaboration on mission critical projects. They recently joined forces as design-build partners for the University of Texas Data Center Consolidation and also worked with Hewlett-Packard on their two Austin data centers.

HCA has been a valued DPR client nationwide for more than 15 years. Their new Nashville-area facility is scheduled to be completed in June, 2013.
