Description

Nason Construction provided construction management services for the core and shell of this new 70,000 square foot data center. The $7.7 million structure accommodates the AAA eastern United States control center. The two-story, steel-framed building features a precast panel facade with glass curtain wall. The lobby contains hand-set tile floors accented with wood panel walls coverings. Unique to this building, two high capacity generators were installed to ensure constant power distribution independent of the grid. Project challenges included working in an existing office park with under maintained roadways, and the need to expedite county and local approvals to maintain the fast-track schedule.
