The United States Army Corps of Engineers Research and Development Center required space for new supercomputers, along with adjacent offices and laboratories for top researchers. This facility serves as a recruitment tool, attracting young engineers to Mississippi. The supercomputer rooms, designed to be visible from the lounge, showcase an ever-evolving array of the latest computer technology. The linear shelters feature raised flooring to accommodate the computer’s wiring and independent cooling systems.
The building is meticulously designed to meet the Corps of Engineer’s Sustainable Design and Development criteria, aligning with LEED silver qualifications. This commitment to sustainability underscores the center’s dedication to innovation and environmental responsibility.
