Supporting the delivery of secure, future-ready data center solutions in Texas

NTT Data Center Campus Design Services

For nearly a decade, we have been supporting NTT Communications with their data center design projects and integrating NTT’s evolving workplace strategies. NTT initially engaged our team to assist with data center design development on their 42-acre (17-hectare) mega-scale campus to support over 900,000 square feet (83,613 square metres) of advanced data centers.

Since then, we have led the design of multiple facilities, including the award-winning TX1, as well as TX2 and TX3. Once NTT acquired RagingWire, we revised their master plan to incorporate a high-density 24-megawatt critical IT form factor into the TX2 and TX3 buildings, enhancing efficiency and scalability.

NTT pioneered enterprise-grade colocation data centers, providing secure, dedicated spaces within shared facilities. Unlike traditional data centers, TX1 Data Center—NTT’s first facility on their Garland, Texas, campus—makes a bold architectural statement, seamlessly integrating with the building’s mixed-use surroundings.

The TX1 Data Center encompasses both secure infrastructure and Class A office space. Designed for function and inspiration, the office features a striking yellow glass elevator, cloud-inspired details, and custom lighting—a reflection of the NTT’s commitment to innovation, where design and technology converge.

AI-driven workloads necessitate advanced, flexible, and efficient data centers to support the demands of machine learning and data-intensive applications. Our tenant fit-out for the TX2 and TX3 data centers effectively addresses these needs, combining high-performance design with robust technical expertise. We tailored each facility for specialized processors, featuring increased rack power density and a cooling system designed for significant heat loads. Cooling innovations are a cornerstone of the project. The new hybrid cooling system combines direct chip cooling with air-assisted typology, enhancing efficiency at the chip level.

Through their commitment to delivering secure, future-ready data center solutions, NTT can meet their growing business needs while evolving with the technology industry.
