Connect | Virginia // DCD Talks designing sustainably for an uncertain future with Allison Scott | Autodesk

AI infrastructure is evolving faster than the buildings designed to support it, yet many of the decisions that shape a data center’s  environmental impact, cost, and long-term adaptability are made early and can be difficult to reverse. 

This fireside chat will explore how owners, designers, and builders can make better decisions under uncertainty by moving sustainability and scenario planning upstream. 

The conversation will examine where teams should commit early, where they should preserve flexibility, and how better data and cross-disciplinary collaboration can help create data centers that meet today’s demands without unnecessarily constraining or overbuilding for the future.
