# Google Columbus Lockbourne Campus

PJM data center · https://askthegrid.com/assets/facilities/google-columbus-lockbourne-campus

Google's Columbus campus, also reported as Lockbourne, occupies the South High Street project site developed under the Magellan Enterprises name. City records describe a phased data-center development rather than a single building. Google's 2026 Environmental Report separately reports the Lockbourne location's 2025 water withdrawal, discharge and consumption, providing site-level environmental context without estimating electrical load. The city authorized a 15-year property-tax agreement in 2021 with investment and employment conditions. This profile keeps those historical development commitments separate from current operations and from Google's statewide investment totals.

## Identity and location

- Operating status: operating
- Asset scope: campus
- Location: 5076 South High Street, Columbus, Franklin County, OH
- Operator: Google (campus) — https://www.datacenters.google/locations/ohio/

## Power and grid context

- ISO/RTO: PJM Interconnection
- Electric utility: AEP Ohio

## Development

- Construction: The city's 2021 ordinance describes approximately 495.9 acres on parcel 510-180711, with an initial 150,000-square-foot building and phased data-center and supporting infrastructure. The initial building area is not a campus total. Magellan's proposed investment and completion schedule were development commitments, not statements of completed work.

## Compute and operations

- Operating context: Google identifies Columbus as one of its three central Ohio data-center communities, alongside New Albany and Lancaster. Its Lockbourne environmental reporting provides an operating-location record; it does not establish commissioning of every campus building or identify a dedicated Google Cloud region within this physical site.
