CoreSite’s Reston Data Center Campus is a purpose-built, interconnected hub designed to meet the growing demands of cloud computing, data-intensive industries, and emerging AI technologies in Reston, VA.
VA1: 261,000+ SF
VA2: 200,880 SF
VA3 Phase 1: 280,968 SF
VA2: 2011-2017
VA3 Phase 1: 2016-2019

Challenge
Expanding a live data center campus required balancing growth, performance, and operational continuity across phases of development. The project needed to support increasing power, cooling, and connectivity demands while maintaining the flexibility to accommodate future technologies and evolving customer requirements.
Solution
We led the planning, design, and delivery of the campus through the renovation of VA1, the development of VA2, and the initial build-out of VA3. An integrated approach aligned architecture, interior design, structural systems, and advanced MEP infrastructure to support high-performance operations. Detailed site and zoning analysis maximized development potential, while strategic connections between buildings created a cohesive and scalable campus environment.
Outcome
Built for the next generation of cloud computing and AI, the Reston Campus provides organizations with a resilient platform for growth along with mission-critical colocation services, low-latency connectivity, and direct access to major cloud providers. Advanced cooling systems, dark-fiber connectivity, and infrastructure supporting up to 51MW of power help reduce operating costs and carbon footprint, while enabling the high-density computing required for increasingly complex digital workloads.

VA2 expanded the campus with a five-story, LEED Gold-certified facility, strengthening CoreSite’s position as one of only two providers in the region offering native cloud connections.

VA3 is certified under the NVIDIA DGX-Ready Data Center program, supporting the advanced power, cooling, and interconnection requirements of AI workloads
