Equinix has secured planning permission to transform a former AkzoNobel paint factory site on Wexham Road, Slough, into a new data center campus. This development, located in the prominent London market, will occupy approximately half of the former factory grounds.
The campus is planned to comprise three distinct buildings, each housing its own data halls. Equinix anticipates this project will become a landmark in Slough, a region recognized as one of the UK's most active data center markets.
The site has a rich industrial history, originally serving as a paint factory established after World War I. It later became part of Nobel Chemical Finishes and was eventually owned by AkzoNobel. After being sold in 2019, the site was acquired by Slough Council with initial plans for mixed commercial and residential development. However, these plans were revised, leading to the sale of the land to Equinix, who obtained permission to demolish existing structures to prepare for the construction of its new data centers.
