Planning for the physical layout and design of the data center building space should include more than just the equipment room. For example, areas for loading equipment, storage, and support personnel should be included in building space allocations to ensure that all space requirements of the data center are included in a high level budget.

This note will address:

•    Allocating building space to support areas related to data center activity and functions.
