Other data center projects are currently underway in Upper Burrell and Homer City. The site, which measures about 47 acres, would house a 565,000-square-foot hyper­scale data center and a 200,000-­square-foot mechanical cooling plant. The firm previously invested billions of dollars in a Portuguese data center complex that went online earlier this year south of Lisbon. Engineers and architects from Jacobs Solutions designed the preliminary sketches of the Springdale center, and attorneys from Pittsburgh-based Babst Calland represent the developers. An average American home draws an average of 1,200 watts of power, meaning the energy used by the proposed data center could power about 150,000 homes.
