Status: Under Construction (Phase 2 Expansion) | Location: New Albany International Business Park
The Vantage New Albany OH1 Mega-Campus represents a cornerstone of the burgeoning "Silicon Heartland" in Ohio. As of April 2026, the project has emerged as one of the most critical infrastructure hubs in North America, specifically designed to meet the skyrocketing demand for generative AI and large-scale cloud computing. Located within the New Albany International Business Park, this campus sits at the epicentre of a massive technological migration, joining the likes of Amazon, Google, and Meta in the region.
Strategic Significance and Scale
The OH1 campus is a multi-phase development spanning over 50 acres. At its full build-out, the facility will provide 160MW of IT capacity distributed across five state-of-the-art buildings. The project is strategically positioned to leverage Ohio’s robust power grid and its growing reputation as a low-latency gateway between the East Coast and Midwestern markets. The latest April 2026 update confirms that Phase 1 is now fully operational and leased, while construction on the high-density Phase 2 has accelerated to meet mid-year deadlines.
AI-Ready Infrastructure
Unlike traditional data centers, the New Albany campus is engineered for High-Performance Computing (HPC). To accommodate the thermal loads of next-generation GPUs, Vantage has implemented hybrid cooling solutions. The facility supports both high-efficiency air cooling and direct-to-chip liquid cooling. This flexibility allows hyperscale tenants to deploy dense AI clusters that would be unfeasible in older, legacy facilities. The electrical architecture utilises a block-redundant UPS system, ensuring maximum uptime while maintaining a compact physical footprint.
