Connect | London // DCD>Debate: Is short term design the way forward for data center construction?

As digital demand surges, data center operators face increasing pressure to deliver capacity faster and more efficiently. Short-term design and build strategies promise rapid deployment, cost savings, and scalability but are they a sustainable solution for long-term infrastructure needs? This panel will explore the trade-offs between speed and resilience, the role of modular and prefabricated solutions, and whether short-term approaches can meet evolving industry demands.

Experts will discuss the risks, benefits, and future outlook for data center design and construction in an era of accelerated digital transformation.
