WILLIAM BARKER
In the data center realm, I have successfully completed over 1,000 projects, varying in size from 600 to 500,000 square feet. I have collaborated with top mission critical facility clients such as AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon, offering expertise in program assessment, site planning, project budgeting, and scheduling. At GSB, my clients receive hands-on involvement directly from me throughout the entire project, ensuring the delivery of expert-level results. I recognize the importance of fail-safe requirements and seamlessly integrate them into my design work. Additionally, I have completed multiple kit-of-part projects and prototype designs for the technology industry. This has become an area of continued interest and exposure for me, as I find these clients value these methods.
Whether it’s the technological backbone of a data center or the creative haven of a film studio, I lead my team to meet a diverse array of requirements. Following the completion of my initial movie studio project for Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta, I embarked on designing a dozen master plans for future film and television production studios. One of the most significant projects was the development of Tyler Perry’s 330-acre studios at the former Fort McPherson base.
