NSA to Build Huge Facility in Utah

Hoping to protect its top-secret operations by decentralizing its massive computer hubs, the National Security Agency will build a 93,000m² data centre at Utah’s Camp Williams. The years-in-the-making project, which may cost billions over time, got a $181 million start last week when President Obama signed a war spending bill in which Congress agreed to pay for primary construction, power access and security infrastructure. The enormous building, which will have a footprint about three times the size of the Utah State Capitol building, will be constructed on a 200-acre site near the Utah National Guard facility’s runway
