MCA Architects: founded in Dublin, 1988
MCA Architects grew from one of Ireland’s established architectural practices into a trusted design partner for some of the world’s largest technology companies. Over 15+ years of experience in hyperscale and colocation projects, MCA designed more than seven million square feet of data centres, delivered 2.6 gigawatts of critical IT load, and master planned 130 hectares of campuses across Ireland, the UK, the Nordics, Germany, France and Spain.
TTSP HWP: established in Frankfurt, 1990
TTSP HWP grew into one of Germany’s leading data centre general planners. It entered the data centre sector in 2007 before focusing exclusively on the sector from 2019, developing a full-service model covering architecture, engineering, permitting, sustainability and project management. Its work includes the Citigroup data centre in Frankfurt, which was the first LEED Platinum data centre in the world.
