THE STACKED 20 MW FLOOR
FOUNDATION TO ROOF

Four data floors on one braced steel frame. Each floor carries 20 MW of liquid cooled compute, and the whole building stands on a footprint of 35.7 m × 25.0 m (117 ft × 82 ft).

This sheet is the structural key to the stacked campus building: a key plan at 1:700 and a full height section cut east to west through the IT hall, looking south. The four storey configuration reaches 80 MW with a roof at 26.0 m (85 ft); a three storey 60 MW variant is shown dashed at 19.5 m (64 ft). Floor to floor is a constant 6.5 m (21.3 ft), splitting into structure, raised floor void, rack zone, overhead services and plenum.

The lowest block sits at grade on slab with buffer vessels and pumps consolidated beside it. Upper floors hang on the frame, sized for a 12 kPa (250 psf) floor load and rack line patches of 21 kPa, on bored piles driven 15 to 25 m to stratum. Facility risers serve CDUs on every floor, with heat recovery metered to the host partner under EN 1434 and a dry cooler rejection path guaranteeing IT uptime independent of host offtake.
