Provider notes
Energy. Facility power is "matched by 100% renewable energy" per the operator (renewable energy matching/certificates against grid draw, not confirmed on-site generation).
Water. Operator states a "waterless cooling design" — no cooling-water circuit at all, so classified air per the contract's cooling-type tie-breaker.
What the source record says
22,000 sq ft building on a 58.3-acre campus; LEED Gold certified and rated to withstand Category 4 hurricane winds; operator states a dedicated dark-fiber link to Boston's 1 Summer Street carrier hotel. "Currently provides 1.2 MW operationally, with 3.6 MW of total potential critical power capacity" — recorded as operational 1.2 / planned 3.6.
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.
