With the increase of both the penetration rate of search business and the occupancy rate of Baidu, Baidu’s demand for computing and storage capacities is becoming increasingly huge. For the purposes of meeting the demand of its rapid business development and supporting the business transactions among the members of “Cloud Computing Industry Appliance”, it has begun to prepare to build its cloud computing centre in Yangquan Economic &Technological Development Zone, the main functions of which cover data room, integrated office building, equipment warehousing and supporting service area for staff.
Upholding the tenet of “safety, greenness, efficiency and extendibility”, our design has embodied Baidu’s cultural essence of “simple and reliable”, employed direct and effective design strategies to transform site restraints into design highlights, and fully explored site partition and architectural enclosure to create a multi-level security system and a landmark spatial pattern.
