Bluebird Underground Data Center

operational

Underground colocation facility 85 feet below the surface in a decommissioned limestone mine. Size figures conflict within the same directory listing: 80,000 sq ft facility with 25,000 sq ft of colocation in the description, versus 11,000 sq ft of raised floor and a nonsensical '125 sqft' in the summary table; a DCD report on a second expansion describes adding more than 11,500 sq ft to bring white space to 29,000 sq ft. 6.0 MW total power capacity. Compliance: HIPAA, SOC 1/SOC 1 Type 2, SOC 2/SOC 2 Type 2, SSAE 16 Type 2. Springfield's electric and water utility is the municipal City Utilities of Springfield, but no fetched source ties this address to a specific utility account.
