Amazon: Lake Anna Tech Campus

Amazon is developing a massive data center campus called Lake Anna Tech Campus in Louisa County, Virginia.

• The Lake Anna Tech Campus (LATC)—covering some 1.7 million square feet will provide a minimum of 420 megawatt (MW) of data center capacity to serve the expanding demand for cloud-based computing.
• The plans involve constructing seven data center buildings, two ancillary buildings, an admin building, and two on-site substations on a 153-acre site on the east line of Kentucky Road (Route 652), east of the intersection of Haley Drive and Kentucky Road, in Louisa County, Virginia.
• Of the seven standard data centers, five are expected to reach 74 feet tall and include 256,284 square feet of floor space across two stories. A sixth two-story building would also reach 74 feet high and encompass about 185,000 square feet. The seventh building would be one story and cover 151,895 square feet. A 65,000-square foot, two-story administration building and adjoining parking would sit at the entrance to the property near the corner of Kentucky Springs Road and Haley Drive. The two other buildings, one-story structures measuring about 14,000 square feet each, and the dual substations would sit near the rear of the property.
• While the project isn’t expected to reach full buildout until 2040, AWS plans to have at least one data center up and running at the Lake Anna site by 2025.
