Nationwide Children’s Hospital – Data Center + Conference Facility

Nationwide Children’s Hospital Data Center + Conference Facility is a hybrid-use building that combines a highly public program focused on enabling learning and conferences, with the security and resiliency of a leading-edge data center. Anchored by a 300-seat expandable meeting space, the multi-level learning environment includes a state-of-the-art simulation center that promotes continuing education, staff training, and events. The facility is topped with enterprise-focused data center technology featuring dedicated computing power to support efforts to tackle today’s most pressing health issues.

The unique bundle of programs sits in proximity to Nationwide’s numerous research and healthcare facilities for pediatric care, and its highly reflective glazing shines as a beacon of multidisciplinary learning at the heart of the campus. A fritted facade provides added security to the data center levels, while transparency welcomes those using the conference and simulation facilities. Nationwide’s nature-focused branding includes trees and butterflies, symbols of hope and renewal, reinforced by warm wood tones in the building’s lobby.
