Clark Construction Group has just announced the groundbreaking of a new data center in Ashburn, Virginia, which belongs to NTT Ltd., a global IT infrastructure and services company.

Codenamed VA6, the new facility will be NTT’s sixth data center on the 78-acre campus in Ashburn. Designed to span 188,000 square feet, the new two-story data center is expected to deliver 24MW of critical IT load capacity as well as provide front and back-of-house support spaces for facility management and customer use.

As announced, Clark Construction Group will oversee the development and delivery of the new Ashburn data center project which is slated for completion in Q1 2024.

“We are excited to partner with NTT to deliver this critical infrastructure project for the region and help them support their customers’ needs. Data centers are a key sector for Clark, and we look forward to accelerating our growth in the data infrastructure sector in the Mid-Atlantic region and beyond,” said Louie Sarracino, vice president at Clark Construction.

Also in Virginia, NTT recently announced that it plans to build a new data center campus in Gainesville, following the purchase of land located off John Marshall Highway in Prince William County from Lerner Enterprises, one of Washington D.C.’s private developers.
