10. The data center of claim 6 , further comprising one or more rails at least partially extending through the interior space externally to the computing room, wherein at least one of the one or more movable walls moves along at least one of the one or more rails through a portion of the interior space external to the computing room to increase or decrease the length of the computing room within the interior space of the data center.

11. The data center of claim 6 , wherein at least one of the one or more movable walls divides a computing space from a non-computing space.

12. The data center of claim 11 , wherein at least one of the one or more movable walls comprises one or more sealing elements at a junction between the at least one of the one or more movable walls and at least one other wall, wherein the one or more sealing elements are configured to inhibit airflow between the computing space and the non-computing space.

13. The data center of claim 6 , further comprising a power distribution system configured to supply power to computing systems in the computing room through at least one of the plurality of walls.

14. The data center of claim 6 , further comprising a ceiling on the computing room, wherein the at least one movable wall extends substantially to the ceiling.

15. The data center of claim 6 , further comprising an air handling system configured to draw air out through a ceiling of the computing room.

16. A method of changing the size of a computing room, comprising:

providing a fixed interior space at least partially enclosed by a plurality of fixed exterior walls;

providing at least two parallel interior walls each spanning the fixed interior space between the fixed exterior walls at opposite ends of the fixed interior space;

providing a computing room at least partially enclosed by at least one of the at least two parallel interior walls and at least one moveable wall, wherein the computing room is comprised within a portion of the fixed interior space that is at least partially enclosed by the plurality of fixed exterior walls; and

translating the movable wall within the fixed interior space and relative to at least one of the plurality of fixed exterior walls enclosing the computing room to increase or decrease the size of the computing room within the fixed interior space.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein translating the movable wall of the computing room comprises rolling the movable wall on the floor of the computing room.

18. The method of claim 16 , wherein the movable wall translates on one or more rails through a portion of the fixed interior space external to the computing room to increase or decrease the length of the computing room within the fixed interior space, wherein the one or more rails extend at least partially through the fixed interior space externally to the computing room.
