EdgeConneX Chicago Campus CHI01 CHI02 CHI03 Elk Grove Village Illinois

Status: Operational / Active Edge & Hyperscale Data Center Campus   |   Location: 1800 Nicholas Blvd / 2055 Lunt Ave, Elk Grove Village, IL 60007, USA

Project Overview

EdgeConneX Chicago Campus is a multi-facility data center ecosystem spanning 1800 Nicholas Boulevard (CHI01) and 2055 Lunt Avenue (CHI02 / CHI03) in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, with more than 282,000 sq ft of total footprint and 53.4 MW of combined critical IT capacity. Designed specifically for high-density edge computing, content delivery networks (CDNs), and cloud connectivity, the campus provides infrastructure for workloads that require substantial compute capacity and proximity to users and network interconnection points. Powered through ComEd utility feeds, the multi-building development supports ultra-high rack power densities exceeding 600 watts per sq ft, enabling deployments with significantly greater power requirements than conventional enterprise environments. The campus incorporates N+1 and 2N UPS topologies, providing redundant electrical infrastructure and additional capacity to support critical operations and maintenance requirements. Direct liquid cooling integration further expands the platform’s ability to manage the thermal demands of high-density computing, making the campus suitable for evolving AI, cloud, and other data-intensive workloads. Connectivity is a central component of the development, with dual subterranean carrier-neutral Meet-Me-Rooms providing diverse physical entry points for telecommunications networks and supporting carrier choice. Low-latency cloud on-ramps to major Chicago peering exchanges connect the campus with the region’s broader cloud and interconnection ecosystem, supporting efficient data exchange, cloud services, content delivery, and distributed digital applications. Its Elk Grove Village location places the campus within an established Chicago data center cluster with access to extensive power and fiber infrastructure. By combining more than 282,000 sq ft of facilities, 53.4 MW of critical IT capacity, ultra-high-density power capability, liquid cooling, resilient UPS architectures, diverse carrier-neutral connectivity, and direct cloud access, EdgeConneX Chicago Campus provides a scalable infrastructure platform for edge, CDN, cloud, and high-density computing workloads.
