## Data quality

- The exact facility is identified as a QTS data center at 9301 Freedom Center Boulevard. QTS's official page places DC5 at that address, while local reporting describes the completed facility there.
- QTS publishes several Manassas campus-wide claims, including 190+ MW of campus capacity, a planned six-building campus, and closed-loop cooling. These claims are not assigned here to DC5 individually.
- A 2025 trade report describes a gas leak at 9540 Godwin Drive. Although it lists 9301 Freedom Center Boulevard as one of three existing QTS campus addresses, it does not identify DC5 as the affected facility.
- The public-hearing, community-group, petition, and litigation reporting found concerns the separate Prince William Digital Gateway project along Pageland Lane, not the 9301 Freedom Center Boulevard facility; it is therefore excluded from exact-site findings.
- Power values retain their reported, requested, contracted, energized, gross-campus, or critical-IT basis.
