Actapio Data Center

OVERVIEW
The Actapio Data Center’s modern exterior and interior spaces strongly tie to the company’s Japanese roots. Prior to design, Langan evaluated subsurface conditions and potential geologic hazards at the site and provide recommendations for the geotechnical aspects of the design and construction of the development. Langan performed a field exploration program to evaluate surface and subsurface conditions at the site.

Our landscape architecture design scope included a detailed design of the tsuboniwa and landscaping at the office entrance including vegetative plantings, lighting and hardscaping design.Langan also developed a full site layout design, including grading, drainage, and stormwater management, as well as designing site/civil utilities.
