The Data Center Development Program provides students with a practical introduction to the full lifecycle of data center development, from market analysis and site selection through entitlements, construction, and project execution. Participants learn how developers evaluate locations, manage site control, assess utility interconnection, power capacity, and cooling requirements, and analyze key economic considerations such as land basis, utility upgrade costs, construction budgets, capitalization rates, and joint venture structures. Through a multidisciplinary approach spanning real estate, finance, engineering, planning, and technology, participants develop a stronger understanding of the infrastructure, financial, and development factors that drive successful data center projects and investments.
