## Data quality

- QTS’s official Manassas 1 page identifies DC2 at 9420 Godwin Drive, and Prince William County records identify QTS Manassas DC2 at the same address.
- The county record lists DC2 as completed in 2025, with permit BLD2023-04643 finaled and an occupancy date of December 29, 2025. It reports 136,228 square feet as gross floor area; this should not be treated as IT load, power capacity, or a campus-wide figure.
- The April 2025 gas leak was reported at 9540 Godwin Drive, not at DC2’s 9420 Godwin Drive address. The coverage is therefore campus or nearby-building evidence, not evidence of an incident at DC2.
- Coverage involving the Coalition to Protect Prince William County, Pageland Lane landowners, Oak Valley Homeowners Association, and other opponents concerns the separate Prince William Digital Gateway project, not DC2.
- QTS’s campus-wide capacity, cooling, fiber, sustainability, and customer statements are not building-specific and should not be reassigned to DC2.
- Power values retain their reported, requested, contracted, energized, gross-campus, or critical-IT basis.
