With demand for new facilities accelerating faster than the industry can keep up, brownfield sites and retrofit data centers are now being considered as a more realistic option to meet demand for high-density workloads. However, in both cases, there are significant power, cooling and infrastructure hurdles to consider. This episode will explore how new construction sites and techniques are being explored to keep up with demand in 2026. We will explore:
- Real-world experiences from data center retrofit and brownfield projects
- Designing for flexibility in a fast-moving industry
- Building for future high-density demand without overbuilding today
- How modular power and cooling elements can allow incremental upgrades
