Vantage Data Centers: Fredericksburg VA4-Building 1 Data Cente

PNH4 Fredericksburg VA4-Building 1 Data Center, part of the VA4 Fredericksburg Data Center Campusoperated by Vantage Data Centers, is a next-generation hyperscale facility under development in Stafford County, near Fredericksburg, Virginia, United States. Situated approximately an hour south of Northern Virginia’s core data center cluster (“Data Center Alley”), the VA4 campus expands Vantage’s Virginia footprint to 782 MW of critical IT capacity and brings state-of-the-art infrastructure to a rapidly growing digital hub outside highly congested metro zones.

⚙️ Facility Highlights

1. Designed as part of an 82-acre campus with three data centers totalling ~929,000 sq ft and 192 MW of critical IT load.
2. High-availability, enterprise-grade design supporting mission-critical and high-density compute, networking, and storage workloads.
3. Redundant electrical systems with N+1 redundancy and a private 270 MW on-site substation.
4. Flexible support for both traditional air-cooled infrastructure and next-generation GPU and liquid-cooled IT loads.
5. Cooling architecture featuring a closed-loop chilled water system and optional liquid-to-liquid CDU-based designs capable of handling 100 % of IT loads.
6. Modular layout with scalable colocation space and flexible room design options.
7. Targeted phased completion, with Building 1 expected to be operational in late 2027.
