The Stafford Technology Campus (STC), a new data center project in Stafford County, Virginia, has reached a significant milestone. Stack Infrastructure has announced the completion of external construction on the first building of the campus, marking notable progress in what is set to be a transformative development for the area.
Stack Infrastructure revealed that construction teams have been hard at work for just over a year, accumulating more than 425,000 labor hours. Over this period, workers moved three million cubic yards of earth and constructed 4,000 feet (1,219 meters) of retaining walls, showcasing the sheer scale of the undertaking.
Stafford County, located on the Potomac River and south of Prince William County, is not traditionally known for data center activity. However, recent efforts, such as lowering taxes on data center equipment, have made it an appealing location for such developments.
Once fully developed, the Stafford Technology Campus is set to include 19 data centers spanning 500 acres. The site will ultimately deliver more than 1GW of capacity, making it the largest project investment in Stafford County’s history. The campus was first announced in January 2025, with its land previously owned by the real estate firm Peterson Companies. Peterson Companies had initially filed for rezoning of the site, located near US Route 1 at I-95, back in 2023.
The Stafford Technology Campus adds to Stack Infrastructure’s growing portfolio across Northern Virginia, where the company currently lists ten campuses in either operation or development. These campuses cumulatively account for over 2.4GW of capacity across approximately 960 acres. The company has also announced plans for additional projects in Virginia, including a 144MW campus in Loudoun County and another development in Berry Hill, Pittsylvania County.
This latest milestone at the Stafford Technology Campus underscores Stack Infrastructure’s role in shaping the data center landscape in Virginia. The company noted the significance of the achievement, stating its commitment to delivering large-scale projects efficiently and on schedule.
Stack's announcement aligns with Stafford County's increasing efforts to attract data center developments, signaling potential growth for the region in this burgeoning industry.
