HITT Contracting Inc. (HITT) has been awarded a contract for the design and construction of a new Tier III Data Center to be located at the Denver Federal Center in Lakewood, Colorado. The team, led by HITT, includes Wisnewski Blair & Associates for Architecture; KTA Group for Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing Engineering; Woods Peacock for Structural Engineering; Kimley-Horn and Associates for Civil Engineering; and Schmid & Associates for Fire Protection Engineering.
