Ada Infrastructure, a data center platform of GLP Capital Partners, has received planning approval from the Newham Strategic Development Committee to deliver one of London’s largest data center campuses.
The 210 MW Docklands data center campus will include three 70 MW data center buildings and a community multi-purpose facility, and is designed to achieve a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating.
Jennifer Weitzel, president of Ada Infrastructure, commented: 'This new data center development embodies our commitment to driving positive change through the use of sustainable technology and materials, a robust environmental, health and safety program, and an ongoing investment in the communities in which we work and live.'
Nick Cook, President, GCP Europe, added, 'We are delighted to see our vision for a large-scale data center come to life at Docklands. We will continue to leverage our significant footprint across Europe to support the growth of our data center and clean energy strategies.'
Robert De Jong, director at the Royal Docks Centre for Sustainability at the University of East London (UEL), added: 'We are pleased to note the significant public realm improvements that will be of huge benefit to those who live, work and study in the local area, as a result of the new data campus. These proposals are highly sustainable, in line with UEL’s own values, and have evolved to improve the design and architectural approach, as well as enhancing access to public space and the Thames River.'
