The intervention involves the new construction of a Data Center within the Cornaredo DC Campus, developed together with its underground district utilities, plant systems, and technical infrastructure. Conceived as part of a broader campus strategy, the project integrates power, cooling, and connectivity systems within a coordinated masterplan designed to support high-density, mission-critical operations. TEKNE's expertise extends across the campus, also covering DC 11, DC 12, DC 14, and DC 15.

Designing a data center means responding to a unique set of demands: continuous, uninterrupted operation, precise climate control to protect sensitive equipment, robust power redundancy, and a high degree of physical and digital security, all within a compact and highly engineered footprint. It is a discipline where every system — electrical, mechanical, structural — must work in constant balance with the others, leaving no margin for approximation.

Beneath the individual facilities, the campus relies on a network of underground district utilities that connect and support every building: power distribution, water supply and drainage, cooling loops, and fiber connectivity routed through dedicated technical galleries. This shared infrastructure allows each data center to operate independently while remaining part of a single, coordinated campus system.

The facility stands as a strategic component of the campus, conceived to ensure operational continuity and plant resilience throughout every phase of its lifecycle. It reflects the campus's integrated approach to energy and plant management, in line with the industry's highest reliability standards, and is part of an overall design geared toward efficiency and scalability — a further step in the campus's coordinated development, where plant engineering and technical coordination come together to ensure consistent performance over time..
