Yondr has announced the completion of the first phase of its 30MW data center on its planned 100MW campus in Slough, UK.
Located in West London, the first 20MW of the facility is now ready-for-service and has entered into operation.
The campus is located at the former Uxbridge Road Gas Works and disused Akzo Nobel paint factory. The company first announced plans for the campus in November 2021.
Construction of the first building began in 2022. The second building has already begun construction and will add an additional 30MW of capacity.
Timelines for completion have not been shared.
Peter Hill, VP of design and construction EMEA, said: “The success of this project is testament to the hard work and resilience of Yondr and our partners. We are immensely proud of our team’s dedication and expertise in delivering this hyperscale data center project.
“The handover of our first UK data center is a major milestone, not just for our Slough campus and Yondr, but for the UK’s data center ecosystem as we respond to the global challenge of increasing data capacity.”
Paul Hood, COO of global data center operations added: “Our proven track record of delivering reliable and resilient hyperscale data center capacity around the world has made us a valued partner for our clients, and we are looking forward to entering the operational phase for this facility, while progressing construction on the Slough campus concurrently with our other projects around the world.”
Slough is one of the main data center hubs in the UK, with CyrusOne, NTT, Equinix, and Kao all having a presence in the area. It has continued to see development with Iron Mountain and Digital Realty both recently planning facilities in the town.
