\u201cThe lab space, which will house Nokia\u2019s high-powered servers and technology infrastructure, will feature more than 2,800 four-post racks across four floors, accommodating both in-line and back-of-rack cooling, with room for future expansion. It\u2019s here where Nokia will have the freedom and technology to experiment, innovate, and achieve its R&D goals.\u201d<\/p>\n
Broccolini states it is actively hiring and growing its local team across development, construction and project delivery to support this project and a growing pipeline of work in the Ottawa region.
\u201cTo be chosen to develop and build a campus of this importance for a global technology leader is a mark of real trust, and it is exactly the kind of complex, high-profile work Broccolini is built to deliver,\u201d said James Beach, executive vice-president, real estate development at Broccolini, in a statement. \u201cThis is one of the most significant projects in our history, and we are proud to be building it here in Ottawa.\u201d
The new campus aims to drive \u201cbreakthroughs in AI-powered networks, data centre networks, quantum-safe infrastructure, and next-generation 6G technologies, while cultivating strategic industry partnerships and developing the next generation of innovators,\u201d Nokia states.<\/p>\n
According to Colliers, the massive redevelopment project is valued at $750 million, with over $430 million in private placement and more than $70 million in funding from federal and provincial governments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OTTAWA \u2014 Broccolini has announced construction is officially underway on Nokia\u2019s new Ottawa innovation campus, a 750,000 square…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":803431,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194295],"tags":[49,48,20739],"class_list":["post-803430","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ottawa","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-ottawa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/803430","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=803430"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/803430\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/803431"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=803430"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=803430"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=803430"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
