Tilt-Up Achievement Award (TX1) Datacenter Dynamics Award for Data Center Design Team of the Year (TX1) Recognized by Datacenter Dynamics as one of the ‘most beautiful data centers in the world’ (TX1)

Page, now Stantec and NTT Communications, formerly RagingWire Data Centers, share a dynamic, collaborative partnership—delivering high-performance, awardwinning data center projects that redefine industry standards. For nearly a decade, we have been supporting NTT Communications (NTT) in their data center design projects while integrating NTT’s evolving workplace strategies. The team was initially engaged to support data center design development on their 42-acre mega-scale campus to support over 900,000 square feet of advanced data centers.

Our team has led the design of multiple facilities, including the award-winning TX1, as well as TX2 and TX3. Once NTT acquired RagingWire, the design team revised their master plan to incorporate a high-density 24MW critical IT form factor into the TX2 and TX3 buildings, enhancing efficiency and scalability. This collaboration demonstrates our commitment to delivering secure, future-ready data center solutions that empower NTT to meet its growing business needs while evolving with the technology industry.

Redefining enterprise-grade colocation 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 its Garland, Texas, campus—makes a bold architectural statement, seamlessly integrating with its mixed-use surroundings.

The TX1 Data Center encompasses 201,000 square feet of secure infrastructure and 40,000 square feet of Class A office space. A phased construction strategy ensures seamless expansion with minimal disruption, starting with 16 MW and a two-story office. Each phase adds 126,000 square feet of white space within a 201,000-squarefoot shell.

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.

The expansion of the AUS IT Building represents a significant investment in the airport’s mission-critical technology infrastructure, ensuring that core operations, such as safe and efficient aircraft arrival and departure, remain seamless. Page, now Stantec’s design addresses the airport's increasing technological demands, reinforcing its commitment to operational reliability and security.

The expansion from 10,000 square feet to over 40,519 square feet allows the facility to meet present needs and its anticipated growth for the next two decades. Crucial security enhancements safeguard AUS's continuous operation while mitigating potential risks. The new building also creates a state-of-the-art environment for staff, fostering talent retention and attraction by providing a premier workspace tailored to high-performance technology professionals.

Security and collaboration

Engineering resilience for uninterrupted operations

The building is organized into two distinct sections to meet the airport's diverse operational and security needs: a high-security "bunker" dedicated to critical communication functions and a modern, open office area optimized for productivity and collaboration.

The facility’s data center is designed to meet Uptime Institute’s Tier III - Concurrently Maintainable standard of data center redundancy. The AUS IT Building has two Uninterruptible Power Supply systems with five minutes of battery run time and maintenance bypass in an “N+1” configuration and two backup generators that can maintain the building’s total load in the event of a utility failure. The mechanical system’s N+1 chiller plant serves the critical IT rooms and administrative spaces. The configuration optimizes the equipment for the whole building but prioritizes critical loads during a maintenance or failure event.

The communications “bunker” functions as the nerve center of AUS, housing critical infrastructure to ensure the continuous operation of airport technology systems. The internal configuration prioritizes the seamless integration of existing essential functions while accommodating new features in an efficient and adaptable layout. With long-term viability in mind, the design also maintains flexibility to accommodate future technological advancements.

The open office space prioritizes comfort and efficiency for IT personnel, enhancing workflow and providing a collaborative, engaging environment.

The Fire Protection systems include a double-interlocked preaction system that integrates a gaseous suppression system designed for maximum asset protection and human safety.

Revitalizing spaces to reflect the client’s brand

Safety and energy efficiency

A double-height space, the lobby features a monumental stair and a sculptural light fixture. The office space features modern materials throughout, including glass, brushed stainless steel, sleek carpet tile patterns, and pendant lighting while using colors that reinforce the company’s brand.

The laboratories in this facility were designed before specific users were assigned. Anticipating the use of Hydrogen Sulfide and Hydrogen Carbon gases, our team integrated high-performance ventilation systems with redundant supply fans and high-plume exhaust systems. To ensure safety, the exhaust systems include scrubbers that remove harmful chemicals before release into the atmosphere. Each lab is equipped with sensors that detect unsafe chemical levels, triggering alarms and activating an exhaust purge mode when necessary.

A modular, adaptable lab designed for future expansion The space accommodates a variety of research initiatives, including production management, drilling, reservoir engineering, geology, geophysics, and subsurface sensing and control. An adaptable laboratory design was achieved through modular, mobile lab furniture and flexible layouts. Lab gases and electrical connections are designed to allow for easy reconfiguration as needed.

Page, now Stantec Mission Critical

To prevent disruptions, the laboratory ventilation system uses a specialized duct distribution approach that maintains airflow even when ventilation is reduced in nearby office spaces. We designed a system with dedicated air dampers, electric actuators, and an automated sequence that redirects supply and exhaust air as needed. This ensures safe lab pressurization, even if a self-contained package unit unexpectedly fails, keeping the research environment secure and operational.
