The colocation service provider's Phoenix ONE project will represent approximately 460,000 sq. ft. of installed raised access flooring.
"We are fortunate to be profitable, well-capitalized and growing despite the economy," said Anthony Wanger, president and founder of i/o Data Centers. "There was no question that we would incorporate raised flooring into our Phoenix ONE data center and we knew that industry-leader Tate was the right choice for a project of this magnitude."
During the initial phase of construction for Phoenix ONE, which is slated for completion by June 1, 2009, Tate will install 180,000 sq. ft. of raised access floor. The area covered during the second phase will include an additional 180,000 sq. ft. The third and final phase is scheduled for completion by September 1, 2009, with another 100,000 sq. ft. of raised floors installed.
"Over the last several years we've seen increased interest in the use of raised access floors with underfloor service distribution as a way to improve indoor air quality, help make buildings more energy efficient, promote sustainable building practices and achieve LEED certification," said Bill Reynolds, director of marketing at Tate. "Now, with the slow down in construction due to the economy, it's fascinating to see a return to a part of the business that gave us our earliest start - despite market challenges."
