About this conversation

Data centres are not just sheds full of server racks. They are complex, highly serviced, mission critical buildings that demand technical coordination, safety thinking and serious sector knowledge.

Stephen Drew explores data centres and mission critical architecture, covering specialist project delivery, fire strategy, 3D coordination, recruitment, future demand and why more architecture professionals are paying attention to the sector.

The conversation covers:

What makes data centres more complex than they look from the outside

How fire strategy, safety and asset protection shape design decisions

Why 3D coordination is essential on mission critical projects

    Hi everyone. It's mission and critical. I'm sorry, Tom Cruise is not here. He's in the cinema though. Don't worry about that. Forget that. But this is equally exciting, parachuting into the data service and stuff. Tom Cruise has been there. We're gonna take you there too. Elon Musk. You ain't got nothing on this.

  2. Alright? 20 seconds, all be revealed. If you're still on that rev model, guys gotta turn it off now. Go home. But before you go home, actually watch this. Hello everyone and welcome to this livestream special. I'm so happy that you are here. Get your glass of wine, your coffee, whatever you make in that carbonara
