# Meta New Albany LCO 2

PJM data center · https://askthegrid.com/assets/facilities/meta-new-albany-lco-2

Meta New Albany LCO 2 is a separately identified data-center building at the company's Beech Road campus. New Albany reports 302,944 square feet, a September 2023 construction start, SNHA as architect and Turner Construction as contractor. The city still included LCO DCB2 in its December 2025 construction report and lists LCO 2 on its project-updates page. The exact building is located in AEP Ohio's PJM service territory. This profile distinguishes its construction record from LCO 1's partial-occupancy milestone and from unallocated campus power and investment totals.
