EQUINIX ML5.1
The new ML5.1 Data Center, an investment by Equinix, is part of the development of a technology hub within the “Castelletto Uno” Implementation Plan in the Municipality of Settimo Milanese.
The newly constructed building is designed for data storage, processing, and cloud services.
It consists of a single prefabricated structure spread over three above-ground floors, with technical rooms on the roof and various auxiliary external areas.


Our assignment proved particularly complex, especially in terms of coordination with the systems, but highly stimulating. Entirely developed in BIM, we achieved a modeling detail level of LOD 350 within a fully international design context.
All models and information were coordinated and managed in a BIM environment, in the cloud, with design phases carried out directly in real time with other stakeholders.


In the development of technology hubs like data centers, which may initially seem straightforward, it is essential to have excellent mastery and extensive multidisciplinary knowledge, as well as a deep understanding of processes.
It is thanks to these qualities that we successfully completed this project, which began with a preliminary design that required extensive refinement and development.
