Switch working on third data center at Pyramid Campus in Kent County

Switch

A huge data provider is about to finish its second data center in Kent County and is already working on a third

Switch Communications Group is a major provider of artificial intelligence, cloud and enterprise data with a growing footprint in West Michigan.

The Las Vegas-based company is currently completing its second data center building on the former Steelcase Pyramid Campus on East Paris in Gaines Township.

The 312,000 square foot expansion is nearly as big as Switch’s existing data center on the same location.

Construction started in October 2022 and the building should open spring of 2025.

Between Switch, construction contractors and client employees, there are nearly 1500 people working on-site.

Switch has plans already underway to invest hundreds of millions of dollars more for a third building at the site, with early planning now underway.

It’s part of a $5 billion financing deal closed last month for projects in four areas around the country.
