Karis Critical is investing to build a huge data center campus in DeKalb, Illinois. The plan is for seven two-story data center buildings, each spanning 250,000 sq ft (23,226 sq m). In addition, ComEd plans to construct a 20-acre substation on the site to provide power to the campus and other portions of the region. It would be DeKalb's second data center campus. The project is expected to bring around 75 to 100 new jobs per building.
