Hi there,
AI is forcing a rethink of how data centers are designed and built, from rack density and cooling to power availability, procurement models, and ROI expectations.
This short survey looks at how owners, developers, and construction teams are responding in 2026, including:
AI-driven capacity expansion and target rack densities
Power, cooling, and space constraints delaying deployment
Build vs buy vs modular procurement strategies
Energy and resilience approaches ahead of grid upgrades
The metrics leadership will prioritise next year
Your response will help shape an anonymised industry report revealing how data center teams are planning, building, and delivering AI-ready infrastructure in 2026.
Kind regards,
Claire Fletcher
