University of Virginia

The University of Virginia Data Center, located at 2476 Old Ivy Rd in Charlottesville, Virginia, was constructed to address the overcapacity issues of the previous Carruthers Hall facility. This new 12,500-sq-ft building significantly enhances the university's infrastructure, effectively doubling its data center capacity.

Key features include 5,500 sq ft of raised floor space and approximately 1MW of critical power. For reliable operation, a 2.5MW generator has been installed to provide power backup. The data center's design incorporates distinct cooling zones, catering to both regular compute loads and the demanding requirements of high-density research computing areas.

Construction commenced in May 2010, with the site prepared for acceptance testing by January 2011. The facility supports a wide range of university services, including web mail, virtual desktops, UNIX, and website management.
