Structural ceilings are integral to data center design—directly influencing performance, reliability, and scalability. Participants will gain insight into where the data center market is heading and the growing importance of a well-designed structural ceiling that accelerates speed to market. Structural ceilings form a flexible, load bearing framework that transforms overhead space into a versatile area capable of accommodating new loads, layouts, and technologies. This course will explore classifications of structural ceilings, testing protocols, and design considerations for data centers.

Learning Objectives
- Understand structural ceiling classifications, testing protocols, and design considerations to enable speed and flexibility, designing a resilient framework for current infrastructure and future data center growth.
