Switch Citadel Datacenter Campus, Nevada

In 2015, the data center company Switch announced it would build its Citadel Campus at the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center, an eight-building complex that would cover up to 2,000 acres, and enclose a total of 7.2 million square feet, making it by far the largest data center in the world, if it gets built as planned. In 2016 it opened the first of its buildings, Tahoe Reno 1, with almost 1.5 million square feet. The site connects to its Core Campus in Las Vegas, where more than 2 million square feet of data center space is up and running, connected to the Citadel by a fiber system making them less than 7milliseconds apart, despite being on opposite ends of the state. The company describes how this loop extends through other fiber links to cover southern and northern California, making a big superloop, with less than 10 millisecond latency, and only 4 milliseconds between it and the Bay Area. In 2017, Google acquired 1,200 acres just over the pass from Switch, to build a data center.
