Data centers continue to play a crucial role in the overall resilience of the construction industry as projects in other sectors face delays.
New York-based Turner Construction recently won a $2 billion contract to expand Vantage Data Centers’ campus in New Albany, Ohio, according to a news release.
The campus expansion will add over 1.5 million square feet of infrastructure designed to support cloud technologies and artificial intelligence. The site sits on about 70 acres and will offer 192 megawatts of power capacity, according to the release.
The project aligns with Vantage and Turner’s shared sustainability goals, aiming forLEED Silver certification.The campus will also contribute to Vantage’s commitment to net-zero operational carbon emissions by 2030 across its global portfolio.
Turner expects the first building to open in 2025, according to the contractor.
This project going for LEED Sliver probably added a good 10-20% extra to the overall cost of the project. But it’s interesting to see data centers trying to be sustainable with all the power they need.
