The Roper St. Francis Data Center is a purpose-built facility designed to centralize IT operations for one of the region’s largest healthcare networks. The data center spans 17,000 square feet and was developed in partnership with the Medical Society of South Carolina to support electronic communications for over 100 Roper St. Francis Healthcare facilities across a nine-county region.

The facility includes an 11,907-square-foot tilt-up concrete building and a 5,320-square-foot exterior mechanical and electrical yard. The infrastructure was engineered to deliver high availability, resiliency, and security, ensuring uninterrupted access to mission-critical systems for clinical and administrative operations.

The data center is part of a broader 24-acre campus that also includes a five-story, 130,000-square-foot administrative headquarters building. This adjacent structure consolidates 19 departments and over 600 employees previously spread across leased offices throughout Charleston County. The headquarters features customized departmental suites, open workstations, enclosed offices, conference and training rooms, and shared amenities such as a café, fitness center, and walking trails—all designed to support collaboration, wellness, and operational efficiency.

The data center’s integration into this larger campus underscores its strategic role in enabling Roper St. Francis Healthcare’s digital transformation and regional growth. It provides a secure, centralized platform for managing patient data, supporting telehealth, and ensuring business continuity across the healthcare system.
