As Ada ’ s flagship development in the United Kingdom , the 210 MW Docklands Data Centre campus is designed for sustainability , safety , security and to meet emerging AI workloads .

Jennifer Weitzel , President of Ada Infrastructure , expressed her enthusiasm for the project : “ This new data centre development embodies our commitment to driving positive change through the use of sustainable technology and materials , a robust environmental , health and safety programme and an ongoing investment in the communities in which we work and live .

“ In addition to collaborating with local partners to provide job training and employment opportunities , the project ’ s future-ready design , including energy-efficient systems , net positive landscaping and strict physical and cybersecurity protocols , will set new standards for safe and sustainable development in the age of AI .”

Nick Cook , President , GCP Europe , added : “ We are delighted to see our vision for a large-scale data centre come to life at Docklands . We will continue to leverage our significant footprint across Europe to support the growth of our data centre and clean energy strategies .”

Robert De Jong , Director at the Royal Docks Centre for Sustainability at the University of East London ( UEL ), commented on the positive impact of the development to the community : “ 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 .”

The development , which includes three 70 MW data centre buildings and a community multi-purpose facility , is sustainably designed to achieve a BREEAM ‘ Excellent ’ rating . The data centre buildings feature innovative energy solutions including air and liquid cooling systems that operate without water evaporation , usage of lowcarbon building materials and provisions for a district heating system interconnection . The campus is engineered to be ‘ AI ready ’ from day one , capable of adapting to the intensive power and cooling requirements of hyperscale AI applications .

The multi-purpose facility will be available to the community for job training programmes to enhance local opportunities and foster careers across the digital infrastructure and technology sectors , reflecting Ada ’ s commitment to enriching communities by creating educational and career opportunities in cutting-edge technology fields . The new development will significantly enhance the public spaces around the site , including improved pathways for pedestrians and cyclists along the Thames River . x
