Carpenters? Are we making the data centers out of wood?

Carpentry tends to span beyond direct woodworking. Installing Drywall over steel studs is one example that might apply to DC construction.

>Carpentry is a skilled trade and a craft in which the primary work performed is the cutting, shaping and installation of building materials during the construction of buildings, ships, timber bridges, concrete formwork, etc.

I'm not sure carpenters do drywall, that's usually a specialized crew. But they might do the framing/assembly of the steel studs. And hanging doors, fitting the raised flooring, installing shelving/cabinets, etc.

Homes, not these buildings. Wood's a liability when it comes to fire suppression.

Not usually, but the same standard framing and drywall techniques work using the more modern steel stud systems. Here are a few that came up at the top of a DDG search you can peruse to update yourself.
