IBM Debuts $86M Green Expansion at Boulder Campus
June 20, 2008

IBM has wrapped up the development of a new 115,000-square-foot data center at its existing campus in Boulder, Co. The energy efficient facility, the company's greenest in North America, was developed at a cost of $86 million as part of IBM's $350 million investment in Boulder--and its annual $1 billion Project Big Green. Located about a half-hour from Denver, the facility includes 70,000 square feet of raised floor space, bringing the aggregate amount of raised floor space at the campus to a total of nearly 300,000 square feet. Green aspects of the new data center include energy efficient design and construction--the company retrofitted an existing office structure, using 98 percent of its shell and recycling 65 percent to the original materials--as well as energy efficient power and cooling technologies.
