Hammond, IN

Data Center

HWC helped the City of Hammond with a data storage project to bring additional opportunities for the area. As part of the industrial-sized data center being planned for the shoreline of Lake Michigan, the first greenhouse in the US to recycle waste heat produced by a data center will be developed. Purdue University Northwest will use this greenhouse space for classes and labs to conduct research and focus on innovative projects. HWC endeavors to be part of forward-thinking projects and we are pleased to see our team involved in this cutting-edge development.

HWC continues to provide civil engineering support to this ever-expanding project. Recently, HWC was brought on to help design a Master Plan for the overall site. We continue to be a bridge for communication between the clients (Digital Crossroad) and the City of Hammond, as well as provide concept planning, utility design, and survey work. Digital Crossroads plans to create a large Data Center campus in this area.
