Global colocation provider, Telehouse International Corporation of Europe, has been given the green light to construct a pioneering new Administration Building at its London Docklands data centre campus. The development will significantly enhance service excellence for Telehouse’s docklands-based clients, providing an end-to-end space for reliable, secure, and flexible colocation at Europe’s most connected data centre ecosystem. International construction firm, Flynn, has been selected as the contractor responsible for executing this project.
The new Administration Building will include a centralised control area, comprising new adjacent building and security control rooms as well as a Service Desk location to support customers. This three-way information flow will maximise response times and enhance communication clarity during critical events.
High-quality office spaces will also form part of the building. These will provide Telehouse operations employees with collaborative workspaces, dedicated meeting rooms and leading-edge welfare facilities, including a cafeteria for customer and staff use. The office will bring a unified, one-team approach, ensuring that key delivery support divisions are brought together in a visible and streamlined space. This forms part of Telehouse’s long-standing to promote healthy and safe environments for its employees and customers, along with a more sustainable future for society.
Designed to meet BREEAM Excellent criteria, the Administration Building will showcase the highest standards for sustainable design and environmental performance, which aligns with Telehouse’s continued commitment to corporate social responsibility. Coupled with world-class technologies that improve efficiencies and encourage positive behaviours, this latest development serves to create a positive social impact and support economic growth.
Takayo Takamuro, Managing Director of Telehouse Europe, commented: “The opening of our new Administration Building will elevate Telehouse’s operational excellence further, acting as a driving force for sustainability and improved ways of working within the data centre industry. Telehouse is committed to providing a first-class customer experience – and we are excited to implement an enhanced service delivery to our clients with our new administrative centre of excellence. We look forward to welcoming our customers to the new building in due course.”
Kevin Flynn, Managing Director, of Flynn adds: "We at Flynn are proud to partner with Telehouse as their general contractor for the design and delivery of their new administration building, and look forward to bringing the vision of Telehouse and the design team to reality. The project is strategically important to our business as it further enhances our presence in the London data centre market, our team and supply chain partners are well placed to deliver another critical environment in a live operational campus for another leading international client.”
