Gross Colocation Size

DataYard runs its colocation and cloud data center in a suite of the 130 Building, a 22-story office tower on West Second Street in downtown Dayton. The company built the facility in 2012 to replace its first downtown data center, opened in 1999. It holds a SOC 2 Type 2 accreditation.

The data center has A and B power feeds, dual UPS systems and a natural-gas backup generator added in 2026. Cooling runs on a 40,000-gallon glycol loop with two 70-ton chillers and four air handlers over a raised floor, all N+1. The mechanical and electrical gallery sits apart from the white space, and four diverse upstream circuits connect the site.
