NTT Data Center Campus (TX1, TX2 and TX3)
Page and NTT Communications (NTT), formerly RagingWire Data Centers, share a dynamic, collaborative partnership—delivering high-performance, award-winning data center projects that redefine industry standards. For nearly a decade, Page has been supporting NTT Communications (NTT) in their data center design projects while integrating NTT’s evolving workplace strategies. The team was initially engaged to support data center design development on their 42-acre mega-scale campus to support over 900,000 square feet of advanced data centers.
Page has led the design of multiple facilities, including the award-winning TX1, as well as TX2 and TX3. Once NTT acquired RagingWire, the design team revised their master plan to incorporate a high-density 24MW critical IT form factor into the TX2 and TX3 buildings, enhancing efficiency and scalability.
This collaboration demonstrates Page’s commitment to delivering secure, future-ready data center solutions that empower NTT to meet its growing business needs while evolving with the technology industry.

TX1 data center
NTT pioneered enterprise-grade colocation data centers, providing secure, dedicated spaces within shared facilities. Unlike traditional data centers, TX1 Data Center—NTT’s first facility on its Garland, Texas, campus—makes a bold architectural statement, seamlessly integrating with its mixed-use surroundings.
The TX1 Data Center encompasses 201,000 square feet of secure infrastructure and 40,000 square feet of Class A office space. A phased construction strategy ensures seamless expansion with minimal disruption, starting with 16 MW and a two-story office. Each phase adds 126,000 square feet of white space within a 201,000-square-foot shell.
Designed for function and inspiration, the office features a striking yellow glass elevator, cloud-inspired details, and custom lighting—a reflection of the NTT’s commitment to innovation, where design and technology converge.

TX2 and TX3 Data Centers
AI-driven workloads necessitate advanced, flexible, and efficient data centers to support the demands of machine learning and data-intensive applications. Page’s tenant fit-out for the TX2 and TX3 data centers effectively addresses these needs, combining high-performance design with robust technical expertise. Each 230,000-square-foot facility is tailored for specialized processors, featuring increased rack power density and a cooling system designed for significant heat loads.
The project’s initial phase focused on establishing a strong foundational infrastructure. This included the building's core and shell, underground utilities, and long-lead equipment. Key electrical components rest on durable concrete pad foundations, while mechanical systems are on an elevated steel platform. Power infrastructure is meticulously designed 4/3 UPS blocks in 2 MW increments, delivering 6 MW through a distributed redundant system. Each vault integrates its own generator and UPS modules, ensuring operational reliability.
Cooling innovations are a cornerstone of the project. The new hybrid cooling system combines direct chip cooling with air-assisted typology, enhancing efficiency at the chip level. Additionally, by focusing on security with ballistic-rated areas and checkpoints, Page’s design ensures that data centers efficiently meet today’s advanced application demands.
