Switch LAS NAP is a state-of-the-art, 235,000-square-foot co-location data center facility located in Clark County, Nevada. As part of Switch’s larger Las Vegas Core Campus, this mission-critical infrastructure is designed to support high-capacity digital operations with uncompromising performance, security, and reliability.

​

The building features a two-level metal roof system utilizing a brace-rod diaphragm, engineered to provide lateral stability and support expansive roof spans. The primary roof structure is supported by intermediate reinforced tilt-up concrete shear walls and HSS (Hollow Structural Section) steel columns, combining mass and ductility to ensure robust resistance to seismic and wind loads. The main building rises to a height of 30 feet and 10 inches at the gable ridge.

​

One of the facility’s most notable structural features is its roof-top rain shield structure, which completely covers the primary building. This secondary roof layer provides a redundant roofing system designed to enhance long-term protection from environmental exposure and system failure. With this additional coverage, the overall building height reaches up to 45 feet and 3 inches.

​

The development also includes a two-story office wing that houses a free-standing 11,000-square-foot mezzanine. This intermediate floor is constructed using concrete-filled composite metal decking supported by composite steel beams and reinforced concrete masonry unit (CMU) bearing walls, offering strength, fire resistance, and adaptability for future fit-outs or tenant needs.

The main entrance canopy showcases architectural expression through its built-up, radiused cellular beams supported by HSS columns, all finished to an AESS (Architecturally Exposed Structural Steel) standard—highlighting both the engineering precision and the modern industrial aesthetic of the facility.

The structural steel portion of the project was delivered at a material and erection cost of approximately $11 million, reflecting both the scale and the complexity of the structural systems involved.
