Provider notes
Energy. Second Lockport building, brought online 2015 with a 7.2 MW NYPA hydropower allocation, in addition to the 15 MW serving the original campus.
Water. Same Yahoo Computing Coop design as the first building: chillerless, outside-air cooling with an evaporative-cooling system for hot weather.
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.
- Street address: The captured provider context contains an unresolved street-address support or consistency issue. Internal street-number contradiction.
What the source record says
5365 Crown Dr, Lockport, NY — confirmed as a genuinely separate building (~0.25 mi from H5 Buffalo I / 5319 Enterprise Dr, not a duplicate listing), part of the same Lockport campus. Built 2015 as part of a $170M expansion announced 2013 (the campus's second facility). Acquired by H5 alongside Buffalo I in the same Dec 2024 Yahoo sale-leaseback deal. Specific square footage and power capacity for this building alone are paywalled on data-center directories and not independently confirmed — deliberately omitted rather than estimated from the shared 409,200 sq ft campus total (which spans both buildings). Coordinates are a nearby-offset approximation of the campus location, not an independently confirmed parcel pin for this specific building.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.

Compute Atlas 1.34.1 with retained prior rows and publication holds. This is a DataCenterData composite, not an unmodified publisher edition. This row uses the captured source from 1.34.1, source as of 2026-10-14T20:40:52.293Z.
That does not mean the row is wrong, and it does not mean no reviewed record exists for the same place. A link is added only when an identifier or source establishes the match.
