Serverfarm Northern Virginia Data Center

Respectful Design

Visual and decorative screening, including an art wall that showcases local artists, can help mitigate ambient freeway rumble while adding community character.

Waterless Cooling

Our advanced cooling systems use water-free air-cooled chillers to eliminate water waste and reinforce a sustainable design approach.

Economic Impact

This project will generate hundreds of construction jobs and support long-term on-site employment for the community.

Community Recreation

Quantum Field has been donated to the county, preserving the parking lot while creating new green spaces, walkable pathways, seating, and a playground for continued community enjoyment.

Northern Virginia

Located in Northern Virginia’s Data Center Alley, Serverfarm’s new cloud campus sits at the heart of the world’s largest and most interconnected data center hub. Its proximity to Washington, D.C. provides direct access to dense fiber routes, major internet exchanges, and a thriving ecosystem of enterprises and cloud providers—delivering unrivaled global connectivity.

Home to two state-of-the-art facilities, NVA1 and NVA2, this campus is strategically positioned to support local metro fiber connectivity across the surrounding market and beyond. It provides direct access to one of the densest fiber interconnection ecosystems in the region, enabling customers to extend networks, reduce latency, and interconnect cloud workloads. This is not an AI-centric facility; it is a network-focused campus with more than 20 active network operators on site. With strong utilities and a pro-business environment, Northern Virginia remains the premier destination for digital growth and innovation.

Proposed Site Improvements

Serverfarm is committed to enhancing our Northern Virginia campus in ways that deliver long-term value for both our customers and the surrounding community. Planned site improvements for NVA include expanded green space, walking and biking paths, new seating areas, and thoughtfully designed visual and acoustic screening to minimize impact. By integrating community-focused features such as recreational spaces and improved landscaping, we aim to create a more connected, accessible, and neighbor-friendly environment while continuing to support critical digital infrastructure.

Reducing Noise, Supporting the Community

Serverfarm designed this facility to be a thoughtful neighbor, placing generators and key systems along the freeway-facing edge shielding nearby homes. Artistic screening mitigates ambient freeway rumble while adding community character while murals and other visual elements help the site blend into the community.

Vienna Cloud Frequently Asked Questions

  • We have submitted a proposal to Fairfax County to redevelop the aging Tysons Technology Center into a modern, two-phase data center facility, with NVA1 and NVA2 buildings.
  • The proposal will provide a much-needed upgrade to the aging commercial and data center buildings that currently occupy the site.
  • This is not your typical data center. This facility is custom-designed to fit within the existing building’s footprint, improve the exterior appearance, enhance public space – including the existing soccer field and expanding the walking path around the facility – minimize noise, and ensure that existing buildings do not turn into blighted facilities.
  • Built in 1978, this campus has been an important hub for internet and communications networks in the region. It remains a key part of the infrastructure that helps deliver reliable internet service to local homes, schools, businesses and hospitals.
  • This existing connectivity and data center infrastructure is what makes this site a natural home for a modern data center — one that can serve both our local community and businesses around the world.
  • For emergency backup power, we use diesel generators due to their superior fuel efficiency compared to alternatives. These generators are only activated during utility outages and are not part of daily operations.
    • The data center will use a closed-loop cooling system, which recirculates water rather than evaporating it. This design uses ~70% less water than traditional cooling and produces near-zero waste.
    • For comparison, the table below depicts the average consumption of a typical school, and the before and after data centers.

  • We have specifically moved the generator yard from the west side of the property (which is directly adjacent to townhomes) to the back of the site near I-495. The generators will be entirely screened from view by new buildings and masonry walls.
  • The project is designed to be quieter than the current environment and the project abides by Fairfax County noise codes, keeping continuous sound levels below 55 dBA at night and 60 dBA during the day for residential neighbors.
  • We are transforming the site into a more walkable and family-friendly space with a pedestrian circuit, a new playground and shade structure at the athletic field, and an art wall and enhanced masonry walls with landscaping to improve the aesthetic.
  • We are working with the local government to align on the construction schedule. We will inform community members of construction prior to beginning.
  • Quantum field and parking will remain open during construction. The area will be enhanced by a new pathway to the north, playground and new bleachers.
