# NTT Chicago CH1

PJM data center · https://askthegrid.com/assets/facilities/ntt-chicago-ch1

NTT Chicago CH1 is the first data-center building on the operator's Chicago campus in Itasca. NTT reports 36 MW of critical IT capacity for CH1, separately from its planned campus exceeding 200 MW. Three fiber entrances and two carrier meet-me rooms support connectivity, while a closed-loop cooling system and hot-aisle containment serve the computing space. The building profile does not count future campus capacity as an operating CH1 load.
