What is a climate-controlled material storage facility?
A climate-controlled material storage facility is an enclosed building designed to maintain specified interior temperature and environmental conditions for equipment, components, and materials that can be damaged by heat, cold, moisture, dust, or rapidly changing weather.
These facilities are especially important during data center construction, when high-value electrical and electronic equipment may arrive weeks or months before installation. Switchgear, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) equipment, controls, network components, batteries, replacement parts, and commissioning materials must remain protected, organized, and accessible throughout the project.
Unlike conventional structures that may require lengthy foundation work and construction schedules, engineered fabric buildings can provide large, open span storage areas with faster installation and flexible site-planning options. Alaska Structures® climate-controlled material storage facilities can be configured with insulation, HVAC systems, lighting, electrical distribution, equipment and personnel doors, flooring, partitions, and other project-specific features.
Key benefits include:
- Protection for sensitive, high-value equipment and materials
- Faster installation than many conventional building systems
- Unobstructed open-span space for storage, staging, and material handling
- Configurable insulation and environmental-control systems
- Convenient on-site access to equipment awaiting installation
- Options for temporary, relocatable, or long-term applications
- Scalable solutions for one facility or multiple construction sites

BUILDING MODELS FOR CLIMATE-CONTROLLED MATERIAL STORAGE
Alaska Structures® offers engineered fabric building systems for climate-controlled material storage facilities ranging from smaller equipment and material storage buildings to large temperature-controlled warehouses. HGB Series™ and DAGB Series™ buildings can be configured with insulation, HVAC, lighting, electrical systems, flooring, personnel and equipment doors, and other features based on the materials being stored and project requirements.
HGB SERIES™ TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED STORAGE BUILDINGS
HGB Series™ fabric buildings provide a durable, rapidly deployable solution for small to mid-sized climate-controlled material storage facilities. Available in 15′ to 30′ widths, with typical lengths available in 5′ increments, the HGB Series™ can be configured to protect sensitive equipment, components, replacement parts, and other materials requiring controlled conditions. Engineered for demanding environments, HGB Series™ storage buildings suit projects that need a compact footprint, high wind and snow load performance, and the flexibility to expand or relocate as operational requirements change.
DAGB SERIES™ CLIMATE-CONTROLLED STORAGE BUILDINGS
DAGB Series™ fabric buildings are designed for large, climate-controlled material storage facilities and temperature-controlled warehouses that require expansive, unobstructed interior space. Available in a wide range of widths and virtually any length, these double-arch buildings provide ample capacity for high-value equipment, palletized materials, staging, kitting, and material handling. DAGB Series™ buildings can incorporate large equipment doors, insulation, HVAC, lighting, electrical, flooring, and interior systems for data center construction and other industrial projects requiring large-scale protected storage.
WHY ALASKA STRUCTURES® FOR CLIMATE-CONTROLLED MATERIAL STORAGE?
How quickly can a climate-controlled material storage facility be installed?
Pre-engineered fabric buildings can be installed significantly faster than many conventional building systems, helping protected storage capacity come online as equipment and materials begin arriving. Installation timelines depend on building size, site preparation, foundation requirements, utilities, interior systems, and project conditions.
Can Alaska Structures® buildings maintain controlled interior temperatures?
Yes. Alaska Structures® fabric buildings can be configured with insulation and appropriately sized HVAC systems to maintain specified interior temperature conditions. Lighting, electrical distribution, flooring, partitions, personnel doors, equipment doors, and other systems can also be incorporated based on storage and operational requirements.
Are climate-controlled storage buildings engineered for site-specific conditions?
Yes. Alaska Structures® engineers building systems for applicable building codes and project-specific environmental loads, including wind and snow requirements. Building configurations can also account for location, intended use, operating conditions, and long-term performance requirements.
What data center equipment can be stored in a climate-controlled material storage facility?
Climate-controlled material storage facilities can provide protected space for switchgear, UPS equipment, electrical components, networking equipment, controls, batteries, replacement parts, commissioning materials, and other sensitive equipment awaiting installation. Interior conditions should be configured around the environmental and storage requirements specified for the equipment being stored.
Can these facilities accommodate forklifts and large equipment?
Yes. Open-span interiors and large equipment doors provide flexible space for forklifts, palletized materials, crated equipment, staging, kitting, and material-handling operations. Door sizes, locations, interior layouts, and access points can be configured around project requirements.
Can a climate-controlled material storage building be expanded or relocated?
Many Alaska Structures® fabric building systems can be expanded, dismantled, relocated, or repurposed as project requirements change. This makes them well suited for temporary and semipermanent construction facilities, as well as long-term storage applications.
Why use an engineered fabric building instead of conventional construction for material storage?
Engineered fabric buildings combine rapid installation with large, unobstructed interior spaces and configurable environmental-control systems. For projects that need protected storage on an accelerated schedule, they can offer a durable alternative to conventional structures that may require more extensive foundations and longer construction timelines.
