Iron Mountain Data Centers: RCH‑2 Iron Mountain Data

RCH-2 is a planned data center facility operated by Iron Mountain Data Centers, situated within the Richmond campus at White Oak Technology Park in Henrico County, Virginia, just east of Richmond. Part of a larger campus that spans 66 acres and is designed for phased rollout through 2030, the Richmond site will deliver over 200 MW of total capacity and more than one million square feet of colocation space.Positioned near “Data Center Alley,” adjacent to major fiber corridors (I‑64 and I‑95), and neighboring hyperscalers like Meta and QTS, the campus offers notable connectivity and strategic value as an AI‑ready infrastructure hub on the U.S. East Coast 

⚙️ Facility Highlights

• Campus Scale: The full Richmond data center campus is planned to exceed 1,000,000 sq ft of colocation space, delivering over 200 MW of capacity in phases 
• Phased Development: RCH‑1, the initial phase, will offer 48 MW within a ~364,860 sq ft facility—with 18 MW expected by 2027 and full build‑out by 2030; RCH‑2 is a subsequent phase within this roadmap
• AI‑Ready Infrastructure: The campus is being designed as a scalable, AI‑ready infrastructure hub, optimized for hyperscale build‑outs and regulatory compliance 
• Sustainability & Efficiency: Built to high green standards (e.g., BREEAM), with 100% matched renewable energy and energy‑efficient design as part of Iron Mountain’s sustainability program
