About Cardiff Data Center Campus – Building 1

Building 1 is part of the Cardiff Data Center Campus, one of the largest and most powerful data center developments in Europe. Strategically located in South Wales with proximity to the M4 corridor, major airports, and leading universities and research centers, the campus provides hyperscale-ready infrastructure designed to meet growing enterprise, cloud, and HPC demand across the UK and Europe.

The campus spans approximately 46 acres (19 hectares) and is planned to deliver 148MW of critical IT load across three three-story data centers once fully developed, totaling approximately 2,000,000 gross square feet (186,000 m²). Building 1 benefits from direct access to high-capacity grid infrastructure and renewable energy resources, supporting large-scale deployments with long-term sustainability in mind.

Designed for flexibility and next-generation workloads, the campus supports rack densities ranging from 2kW per rack to 125kW+ per rack, accommodating traditional enterprise IT environments through to high-performance computing and GPU-intensive deployments.
