Dell Campus has 4 planned new buildings of which 2 have been built and the third is currently under construction. MEIT undertook the design of the fit-out services design for the first 2 buildings, including enhancements within the base build systems and overviewing the developer’s installation for quality and compliance. These buildings were essentially offices with high occupant demands with large computer rooms and a staff restaurant.

The new 3rd building is being constructed by Dell themselves and we have undertaken the design for the base build and bespoke fit-out requirements. This new building is 100,000 sqft and consists of 2 wings of 4 floor levels. The occupants function will primarily be telesales with a large kitchen/restaurant, hospitality area, in-house systems development labs, and computer room with dedicated 24 hr resilient services. The occupant density and small power gains are high given the nature of the business and the services have been designed accordingly. Energy saving measures have been extensively applied with inverter drives to motors, heat recovery on air handling plant, gas fired humidification and intelligent DDC and lighting controls.

This 3rd building is due for completion in July 03.
