For a realistic look at the design requirements for such a use, the consultants contacted the Vanir Area Manager who has the responsibility of constructing a data center building for Microsoft in Seattle, Washington. His expertise combined with the consultant team's experience and research has provided several insights as to what is needed to convert the existing Jail based on existing conditions. The most challenging aspects of this type of building change is detailed in the consultant team's analysis included in this Report.

Based on its location, multi -story configuration, confined and compartmentalized (non -cohesive) floor plans, minimally -purposed electrical system and mechanical systems designed for personnel air conditioning only, the facilities are generally not accommodating to the demanding design requirements for a data center and will require extensive renovations to serve as a data center.
