1. A modular data center, comprising:
a modular information technology component (MITC), wherein the MITC comprises a first scaffold;
a modular utility control component (MUCC), wherein the MUCC comprises a second scaffold; and
a modular environmental control component (MECC), wherein the MECC comprises a third scaffold,
wherein the MITC and the MUCC are oriented in a first direction and the MECC is oriented in a second direction, wherein the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other,
wherein the first scaffold is connected perpendicularly to the third scaffold to form a scaffold interface, wherein the first scaffold is connected in parallel to the second scaffold to form a second scaffold interface,
wherein an enclosure component is affixed to an outside surface of the first scaffold and to an outside surface of the third scaffold,
wherein, once the enclosure component is affixed to the first scaffold and to the third scaffold, a gap is generated among the outside surface of the first scaffold, the outside surface of the third scaffold, an inside surface of the enclosure component, wherein the gap overlaps at least a portion of the scaffold interface,
wherein a second enclosure component is affixed to the outside surface of the first scaffold and to an outside surface of the second scaffold, and
wherein, once the second enclosure component is affixed to the first scaffold and to the second scaffold, the second enclosure component overlaps at least a portion of the second scaffold interface.
