This is a source-attributed discovery row. It can help you find a place and its citations; it is not a DataCenterData finding that the facility is distinct or currently operating.

The provider note records the operator specification page as stating “Up to 5MW critical load; expandable up to 60MW”: the 5 MW is the stated ceiling for the initial build, not a demonstrated operating load, so it is not repeated as operational capacity. The 60 MW is retained only as the expansion ceiling the operator states; the same page also states a campus figure of 49 Critical MW (Committed & Planned) that DC BLOX does not reconcile with it.
The planned figure is retained only as the provider states it: up to 60 MW (stated as “up to”; scope: expansion; provider note: “Up to 5MW critical load; expandable up to 60MW”; the same source also states “49 Critical MW (Committed & Planned)” (campus-level figure on the same operator page; not reconciled by DC BLOX with the 60 MW expansion ceiling); cited source: Birmingham Data Center - Alabama Colocation). Open the cited source → The upstream row remains attributed below; no operational figure is repeated as site capacity, and unknown is not zero.

- AI-use label (provider)
- mixed use
These reviews flag conflicting scope, inconsistent source text or support that has not been established. A withheld value may appear in the explanation, but is not displayed as an established field. The upstream row remains attributed under Sources.
- Cooling: Previously held pending provider-field review. The concern has not been resolved by an independent source review for this captured edition; the field remains withheld.
What the source record says
Operator spec page states verbatim: "Up to 5MW critical load; expandable up to 60MW" and "31,000 sq. ft. initially; expandable up to 200,000 sq. ft.", with a planned expansion building of 263,000 SF. A campus-level stat block on the same page reads "4 Data Centers (Operational & in Development)", "294,000 Square Feet", "49 Critical MW (Committed & Planned)" — the 60MW and 49MW figures are stated on the same page and are not reconciled by DC BLOX; both recorded here verbatim rather than normalized. Cooling: the source says only "N+1 cooling", "Hot aisle containment" and "High efficiency Direct Expansion (DX)" and does not state whether a recirculating water circuit is present, so coolingType is deliberately not classified. Site is the former Ingalls Ironworks building; DC BLOX states it is the first multi-tenant data center in Alabama to hold Uptime Institute Tier III Certification of Constructed Facility. Coordinates are the OSM building polygon centroid for the parcel, which OSM independently tags as a data centre named "DC Blox Data Center". Investment, jobs and subsidies not stated on any source fetched in this run — not checked at the Jefferson County / City of Birmingham tier, so their absence here is a gap in this research, NOT an audited negative.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.

Sources and attribution
These sources are listed for the whole row. Unless a figure links to its own source, the provider does not mark which one gave it, so a figure may not appear in every source.
