DataBank Virginia South Campus Culpeper: 192MW Sustainable AI Hub

Status: Under Construction / Active Phase 1 Development   |   Location: Technology Zone Industrial Park, Culpeper, Virginia 22701, United States

Project Overview

DataBank’s Virginia South Campus in Culpeper is a flagship hyperscale digital infrastructure development strategically positioned to extend Northern Virginia’s world-leading data center ecosystem beyond Ashburn’s "Data Center Alley." Developed across an 85-acre site within Culpeper’s designated Technology Zone, the multi-building campus is designed to deliver up to 192 MW of critical IT capacity, providing scalable infrastructure for global hyperscale cloud providers, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), high-performance computing (HPC), enterprise platforms, and large digital service providers. Engineered for next-generation computing environments, the three-building campus supports high-density deployments exceeding 50 kW per rack, making it ideally suited for GPU-intensive AI training clusters and advanced cloud infrastructure. The facility incorporates highly efficient closed-loop cooling systems, resilient 2N electrical architecture, and an on-site utility substation to ensure reliable power delivery, operational resilience, and long-term scalability for mission-critical workloads. As a carrier-neutral campus, Virginia South features path-diverse underground fiber routes providing low-latency connectivity to Ashburn’s primary carrier hotels, cloud availability zones, internet exchanges, and international subsea cable gateways serving North America and global markets. Supported by advanced physical security, continuous infrastructure monitoring, and flexible colocation deployment options, the Virginia South Campus provides a future-ready platform for cloud expansion, AI innovation, enterprise digital transformation, and the continued growth of Virginia as the world's premier hyperscale data center region.
