T5 begins work on the last phase of its Chicago facility

T5 Data Centers has announced that it’s expanding its facility in Chicago, Illinois, in the final 20MW phase of its T5 Chicago facility at 200 Innovation Drive in Elk Grove. Acquired by T5 in 2016, the company first broke ground on an expansion back in 2017; its current expansion offers 140,000 sq ft (13,000 sqm) of data hall space.

“T5 continues to build on its reputation of serving the world’s leading companies. Our customers could have chosen any data center in the increasingly competitive Chicago data center market, and we believe the fact they chose to go with us is a reflection of the industry-leading facilities, operational excellence and in-house construction services available at T5@Chicago,” said Craig McKesson, chief customer and marketing officer at T5.

David Horowitz, T5’s executive vice president of sales, commented: “Our latest T5 site has all the characteristics that qualify it as being the best comprehensive data center site in the Midwest that can accommodate speed to market demand signals.”
