Vantage Data Centers: Port Washington (Lighthouse) Data Center Campus - Building 2

Building 2 is part of the Port Washington (Lighthouse) Data Center Campus (WI1), a large-scale AI-focused development in Wisconsin designed to meet unprecedented demand for next-generation digital infrastructure. Located in the Badger State near Milwaukee, the campus is strategically positioned to deliver hyperscale and AI-ready capacity supported by robust renewable energy integration and advanced cooling architecture.

The campus spans approximately 670 acres and is designed to deliver up to 902MW of critical IT load once fully developed across four, one-story data centers, totaling approximately 2.5 million square feet. Building 2 benefits from this master-planned hyperscale environment, engineered to support ultra-high-density AI and GPU workloads.

Designed for next-generation compute, the campus supports rack densities up to 1.4MW per square foot, enabling large-scale AI and high-performance computing deployments
