Profile

Project scope: Existing, operating data center originally developed by DuPont Fabros (acquired by Digital Realty in merger) and later acquired and redeveloped by QTS; the site sits on a multi-building campus at 101 Possumtown Road and has undergone/announced multiple capacity expansion projects including a QTS 15 MW / ~50,000 sq ft raised-floor expansion announced by QTS and a prior acquisition plan to expand raised-floor capacity to ~176,000 sq ft and >26 MW. Current public operator pages describe the Piscataway site and the QTS expansion project; permits/Planning Board filings were submitted seeking approval for a two-story addition (~45,000 sq ft per floor) in early 2022.
Power and grid: 26 MW of critical it load is reported for the exact facility.
Compute role: QTS operates the Piscataway 1 data center as a carrier‑neutral colocation facility with high‑density power, redundant infrastructure, and extensive carrier and fiber connectivity.
Cooling and environment: closed-loop cooling. Reduced water usage through closed-loop cooling.
Local reporting: Reports QTS filed for permission to expand Piscataway campus and that the application was scheduled for a township planning board public hearing; cites My Central Jersey which names 101 Possumtown Road.
