Facebook Prineville Project Synopsis
When Facebook users post photos or status updates, data seemingly drifts into the “cloud,” which is not exactly an ethereal place, but rather a complex data center housing racks of servers using as much energy as a small town. Defying this energy-draining typology, the Facebook Prineville Data Center in central Oregon has achieved LEED Gold status through advanced technologies, including an innovative mechanical equipment penthouse and evaporative cooling system, all while keeping data flowing and providing pleasant workspaces.
