Project Overview

The Lumen Richmond 1 Data Center, located at 8851 Park Central Drive, Suite B, in Henrico County, Virginia, represents a network-dense colocation and edge computing facility serving enterprises, carriers, and digital infrastructure customers across the Greater Richmond metropolitan market. Situated within a multi-tenant technology park and encompassing approximately 27,000 square feet of gross space, the facility provides secure enterprise colocation environments, private suites, dedicated cages, and flexible deployment areas designed for organizations requiring resilient regional infrastructure and low-latency network access. Customers benefit from connectivity to the global Lumen IP backbone, supporting communication with major business, cloud, carrier, and internet markets. Utility power is supplied through high-reliability feeds from Dominion Energy, with the facility incorporating both AC and DC power infrastructure, static N+1 uninterruptible power supply systems, and standby diesel generators to maintain service continuity during utility disruptions. Environmental controls utilize high-efficiency N+1 HVAC cooling units supported by automated temperature, humidity, and environmental monitoring systems designed to maintain stable conditions for customer equipment. Strategically positioned within the Mid-Atlantic fiber corridor, Richmond 1 provides access to diverse telecommunications pathways, including subterranean dark-fiber entry infrastructure and carrier-neutral meet-me rooms that enable connectivity between multiple carriers and network providers. Direct wavelength interconnection capabilities provide routes toward Northern Virginia’s Ashburn data center ecosystem and major subsea cable landing infrastructure, supporting regional and long-distance network requirements. Physical security incorporates controlled facility access, multi-factor biometric authentication, continuous monitoring, and secured customer areas. Through its combination of network density, resilient power, efficient cooling, flexible colocation environments, and diverse fiber connectivity, Lumen Richmond 1 serves as an important regional platform for enterprise, telecommunications, cloud connectivity, and edge computing workloads throughout Central Virginia and the wider Mid-Atlantic market.
