Banner Health Technology Center

The design and documentation of this two-story, 65,000-square-foot facility were completed using BIM modeling software, which integrates the mechanical, electrical, structural and architectural components. This permitted early cost modeling and clash detection, keeping the project on budget and on schedule. Security was one of the client's primary goals, so the structure's materials project solidness and opaqueness throughout, reflecting the primary design concept: technology's "black box." Building systems and technology are partially exposed to translate the program of the Tier III data center.
