Port Washington (Lighthouse)
Data Center Campus

Vantage’s Lighthouse campus will feature the most state-of-the-art electrical equipment to ensure maximum efficiency and reliability. The campus will offer N+1 redundancy across its systems.

• Power provided by We Energies with 70% of the campus’ power originating from zero-emission energy resources, including solar, wind and battery storage; the remaining energy required will be matched with renewable energy purchases, prioritizing Wisconsin sourcing, to achieve a 100% match every year
• Rack densities up to 1.4kW per square foot
• Multiple, diverse power feeds supporting the campus
• On-site substation

Our Port Washington campus is optimized to preserve resources in the community and will use a highly efficient closed-loop chiller system which requires minimal water for cooling, saving billions of gallons of water annually.  

• Combined air-cooled and liquid-to-liquid cooling to support next generation GPU workloads   
• Closed-loop chilled water system 
• Water Utilization Efficiency (WUE) will be near zero (liters/kW/hr) using the latest cooling designs 
• N+1 redundancy across all mechanical systems 

Lighthouse will offer multiple, diverse fiber pathways into the campus with access to both dark and lit fiber. The campus will be carrier neutral, giving you the flexibility to manage your own network.

• Major fiber-based service providers operating within a few miles of the campus including, AT&T, Fiberlight, Windstream and Zayo
• Three Meet-Me-Rooms (MMRs) per building allowing for diverse paths and multiple connectivity options
• One point-of-entry (POE) per building ensuring maximum path diversity for inbound carriers
• Diverse fiber pathways into the campus (minimum two paths per carrier)

Stringent security and safety measures are hallmarks of every Vantage campus. Our Port Washington data center campus is no exception, so you can rest easy when it comes to the security of your digital assets. 

• On-site security operations center with patrols 24x7x365 
• Force resistant perimeter security gates and fencing 
• CCTV on all access control points throughout the entire campus 
• Dual authentication (access badge/PIN and biometric readers) for customer and critical infrastructure areas 
• Visitor management system and badging to control and track onsite personnel 

A space where your employees can work efficiently, as well as relax and recharge, is essential. To provide that superior customer environment, the campus will offer dedicated office space, conference rooms and large-scale break room facilities with food, games, entertainment and more.

• Customizable offices and workspaces dedicated to individual customers
• Secure storage with easy access between data modules
• Multiple conference rooms and meeting spaces throughout the campus
• Proximity to local amenities, including restaurants, shopping, entertainment and the Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport

Vantage Data Centers builds and operates our campuses in ways that prioritize sustainability and environmental responsibility, all while delivering the reliability that is our hallmark. Our baseline approach includes using renewable energy whenever possible, limiting carbon footprints and maintaining energy efficient operations with industry-leading PUEs, in addition to our commitment to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2030. Our Port Washington campus will deliver on this promise.

• 70% of the campus’ power will originate from zero-emission energy resources, including solar, wind and battery storage; the remaining energy needed will be matched with renewable energy purchases, prioritizing Wisconsin sourcing, to achieve a 100% match every year
• Hyper-efficient cooling with outside air economization using minimal water
• Investing in local water restoration projects to achieve water positivity, restoring more water to freshwater sources than the campus consumes
• Planting more than 2,000 native trees and other native landscaping to achieve a net gain in biodiversity
• Protecting and enhancing existing wetlands
• Creating an eight-foot planted berm with native species for natural sound mitigation
• Pursuing LEED certification for the campus
• Small things that add up over time: recycling, motion-sensor LED lights, drought-resistant landscaping and more
