Vantage Data Centers: Zurich I Data Center Campus - Building 2

Building 2 is part of the Zurich I Data Center Campus, Vantage Data Centers’ development bringing hyperscale-ready infrastructure to Switzerland. Strategically located just a short drive from Zurich Airport, the campus provides scalable, high-density capacity within one of Europe’s most stable and secure financial and digital markets. Situated on a 7-acre (3-hectare) campus, Zurich I is planned to deliver 40MW of critical IT load across three multi-story data centers, totaling approximately 400,000 square feet (37,000 m²) of leasable data center space. Building 2 benefits from resilient mechanical and electrical systems, advanced cooling technologies, and diversified connectivity designed to support enterprise, cloud, and hyperscale deployments. Engineered for performance and sustainability, the campus supports average densities of up to 300W per square foot (3.2kW/m²) and incorporates numerous green initiatives including advanced heat recovery and solar facades.
