>There is zero wood in a data center.

Pretty broad generalisation.

Theres no wood on the data floor of a Tier 4 datacenter.

I am not convinced that every DC being built as a result of AI demand is going to be a brilliant T4 datacenter. In fact I wouldnt be surprised if theres a lot of shit going on in the US, which from my admittedly limited experience has some really shithouse datacenters as it is.

Theres a small DC operator near me, 10-20 racks, bit of a joke really other than their position makes them high demand by telcos. Last time I was there <10 years ago had MDF floors above their cable paths. Might have been a wooden partition too.

But to be a pain in the ass, my local T4 DC has a significant amount of timber in the foyer and break rooms. The meeting rooms too. My guess is, theres tons in the office area.

Theres also a ton of temporary construction hacks going on there are they expand. They had some temporary walls built across the common room for instance.

I wouldnt be surprised if carpenters were useful for things like, drop ceilings, liftable floor tiles, general dogsbody stuff.

Pretty bad quoting of my post


I could have quoted the whole thing wouldn't change what I said.
