Cologix plans to build the 287,000-square-foot center on 9 acres along Alta View and Worthington Woods boulevards, next to its original campus on Scherers Court. The new site will be virtually adjacent to the existing campus on Scherers Court, and connected to it by fiber.
In August 2017, Facebook announced plans to build its first data center in the state in New Albany. The 970,000-square-foot facility is being constructed on 345 acres in the business park on the east side of Beech Road and south of the state Route 161 interchange.
STACK acquired the facility in October 2019 from Nationwide Insurance. Nationwide initially built the facility in 2008 for a cost of $96 million.
The Columbus Region is not in major earthquakes, hurricanes, or tornados zones.
The Columbus region power grid is served by American Electric Power’s (AEP) regional network comprised of multiple 345kV & 138kV transmission lines and a massive 765kV transmission backbone system that is connected to generation plants. Many of these incoming transmission lines connect to a 345kV transmission system that encircles the Greater Columbus Area. From this “wheel”, transmission lines act as “spokes” routing to the area’s substations. If a transmission line serving a substation goes down, circuit breakers isolate the troubled line section and reroute the power automatically to the substation through another transmission line
