RUTGERS UNIVERSITY HILL CENTER

HILL CENTER DATA CENTER

Data Center provides support and back-up archival operations for a variety of University uses.

Due to demand for server space and the Hill Center Building’s limited infrastructure and expansion capacity, the Data Center found itself unable to meet many of the technological needs of the University and its researchers.

Scope of work included a new water based cooling unit with a capacity of 200kW for non-critical computing (scalable to 500kW), modifications to its associated electrical switchgear, and relocation of the existing UPS system.

New chilled water cooling plant consists of two (2) air-cooled chillers with economizer coils for free winter cooling, a CRAC unit, and 10 direct cooled racks through a rack mounted rear door heat exchanger.

Project area totaled 15,000 square feet with a construction cost of $1.4M.
