Polk County, Iowa Data Center, Buildings 1 & 2

The Polk County, IA Data Center (PCI) is the first of eight data halls for the new PCI region in Altoona, IA. This project is adjacent to the ATN data center campus completed by Turner. The facility is a two-story “H” structure with data halls, electrical rooms, water treatment rooms on the ground floor, and a full penthouse on the second floor. An administrative space connects the two data halls with a unique two-story office space. The office spaces have full offices, kitchen, loading docks, conference rooms, and lounge spaces for the new facility operations team. PCI has a strong focus on prefabrication processes and assemblies and is designed/slated to be a LEED Gold facility at completion in 2002. Since arriving in Altoona, this confidential client has partnered with Turner to help local people acquire the skills they need for jobs that will help build the infrastructure of Iowa’s future. They have supported community programs to recruit new people to the skilled trades industry and help grow the surrounding communities.
