Plans are under review tomorrow for a new data center campus at 2400 Ringwood Avenue and 1849 Fortune Drive in San Jose, Santa Clara County. The project will replace two existing structures with two data center buildings, a manufacturing structure, and a parking garage. Stack Infrastructure is the project applicant.

The plans will yield a combined 658,760 square feet of floor area, with 522,190 square feet for the Data Centers and 136,570 square feet for the manufacturing building. The data area will be split between a 220,010-square-foot structure and a 302,180-square-foot structure. Surface parking and a garage building will be included for 339 cars, and bicycle parking is not specified.
Corgan is the project architect. The facade treatment is familiar among data center vernacular, a not-so-creative contrast of curtain-wall glass with dark metal panels. A wood-look metal siding will add some visual flair, and X-braces will be visible through the windows. Signage in the renderings are being used for conceptual purposes.

Data center in an Earthquake zone is a bad idea.

Meh. This is in Silicon Valley, not SF. More bedrock. Plus the building isn’t very high. Looks good to me. 🙂
