The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority’s new headquarters building needed crucial technology to support operations, as well as three trading floors (or dealing rooms) and their associated spaces. Shen Milsom & Wilke designed a wireless communication system, trading floors to support three major financial groups within ADIA, and building and interior acoustics. Perhaps the most complex space is the main data center, which takes up an entire floor, and the data center backup. Much of the technology in the rest of the building, including that in the three dealing rooms, is controlled from the data center. Shen Milsom & Wilke addressed all backup power, air conditioning, power distribution, fire protection, and security.
