Building & White Space
Also known asPowered Base Building

A Powered Shell is a data-center building delivered with the base structure and utility power brought to it, but without the internal mechanical and electrical fit-out. It lets a tenant or operator install their own cooling, power distribution and racks to their own standard, shortening time-to-market compared with building from raw land.
