Specifications include, but are not limited to: engage design professionals to provide planning and programming services for the current data center in the Oxendine building, which was constructed in 1987. The existing data center occupies the ground floor and is somewhat isolated from other educational offices. The current setup faces various issues, including end-of-life equipment, capacity limitations, and the need to accommodate modern technologies. The Oxendine Data Center serves as a failover to the Weinstein Data Center. The facility will have enough space to accommodate upgrades and facilitate reconfiguration. Upon completion of Advanced Planning, UNCP may retain the chosen designer for the entire design and construction process.
