Google is looking into expanding its data center presence in Oregon with a new two-story building at its campus in The Dalles. The company has filed plans with local officials to build a 164,000 square foot data center on its 37-acre property in The Dalles nestled alongside the Columbia River. Google built two single-story data centers at the site in 2007, which were refurbished last year with a “rip and replace” upgrade of its power infrastructure to support additional equipment.
Google hasn’t made a final decision yet on the expansion, but has submitted plans with The Dalles’ planning commission to build a third data center on an open parcel of land between the two existing buildings.
