Data Center Campus
QTS: Kearneysville Campus
Campus at a Glance
The QTS Kearneysville data center campus is slated for a 300-acre property strategically split between Berkeley and Jefferson Counties in West Virginia.
The project's initial footprint concentrates on a 90-acre site within Berkeley County, where the Berkeley County Planning Commission approved the concept plan. This phase features two data center buildings, an electrical switching station, a water tank, stormwater retention ponds, and a dedicated, narrow access parcel linking the facility to Charles Town Road (Route 115).
While the primary infrastructure moves forward on the Berkeley side, the campus holds massive potential for future scaling via an adjacent 191-acre parcel in Jefferson County that is already zoned for industrial use, though the Jefferson County Planning office has yet to receive formal plans for review.
