Perfectly poistioned above the new Creative Energy center, the new AI Data Center utilizes a closed loop liquid cooling system that captures the heat generated by the computer chips and feed it into the City’s district energy network to heat the neighbourhood. The ground plane will seek to facilitate connectivity and activate pedestrian flow in and around B.C. Place. The project will integrate the mega Data Center into a diverse urban fabric, whether the nuanced design is to camouflage a Data Center within architectural vernaculars or to transform it into a landmark that celebrate its presence.
