The Grand Rapids campus is designed for up to 1.8 million square feet of data center space and up to 120 megawatts (MW) of power. It features one of the most unusual data center structures in the country, the Switch Pyramid.

The building was originally built in 1989 to house offices for the Steelcase furniture company. The first phase of construction is an adaptive reuse of the pyramid that will create 225,000 square feet of data center space.

The site has a Foucault pendulum suspended from the ceiling in the main lobby of the massive data center.

Switch acquired the 138-acre pyramid property in late 2017 for $22.2 million, two years after Steelcase sold the property for $4 million.
