Yondr Group has been granted planning permission for a third data centre at its campus in Slough, London.
The new facility will join the first data centre at the site, completed in July, and a second that is currently under construction. Yondr has said that the campus will provide more than 100 MW once fully operational.
Yondr worked with Slough Borough Council and the Canal & River Trust to develop a design for the new site that would integrate with the local environment and support biodiversity. The site features a green wall facing the canal, providing visual and acoustic shielding while supporting local wildlife. The data centre will also feature rooftop solar panels.
“With the design for the third building on our London campus, we have taken learnings from the previous two buildings and considered challenges to develop an exceptional data centre design that will set the standard for environmental best practice in the data centre sector,” Carl Fisher, Design Director EMEA from Yondr.
“The design that has been approved will enhance the canal-side walks, protect the canal, and enhance both vistas and pedestrian/cycle access for local residents, while increasing data capacity with an energy-efficient and resilient data centre asset.
“With this project, we are proving that data centre performance, environmental responsibility, aesthetics and sensitivity to local residents can all be factored into progressive data centre design, and we’re looking forward to delivering on every one of those objectives as this project advances.”
Yondr’s VP of Design & Construction EMEA Peter Hill added, “Our team’s collaboration with our partners, Slough Borough Council and other stakeholders exemplifies what true excellence looks like. The seamless coordination and shared commitment to our vision have been pivotal in driving this project forward.”
