On Dec. 4, EdgeCore Digital Infrastructure and Holder Construction celebrated a topping out event for the PH02 data center in Mesa. The more than 868,000-square-foot building is part of the larger 3.1-million-square-foot data center campus that will provide 450 MW of IT load upon completion.
“This area was once part of the 5,000-acre General Motors Desert Proving Grounds where I served as facilities manager. I’m so pleased that this land is getting a second chance to impact our economy,” explains Jack Sellers, former chairman of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. “Our county and our neighbors in Pinal continue to grow at an impressive rate. It’s our responsibility to make sure we meet the challenges that come with growth, and this [project] is one of the many ways we attain our goal.”
As technology advances, so does the need for data centers. Bill Jabjiniak, senior vice president for national community engagement for EdgeCore Digital Infrastructure compares the ubiquity of internet-connected devices to the utilities people depend on for their daily lives.
