Critical Facilities are becoming more diverse as technology advances, creating a market shift. Hyperscale users and increased demand have turned data into the new utility, making quicker, leaner facilities a must. Gensler's wide berth of expertise in multiple practice areas gives our practice a unique edge. For example, a deep bench of experts in both Critical Facilities and Healthcare can deliver the ultimate data center for a healthcare provider. Beyond data centers, our Critical Facilities team delivers high-performance projects for research, supercomputing, command and control centers, SCIFs, distribution and logistics, high-tech manufacturing, and various other technology-rich project types.
