Switch The Rock Campus — Round Rock, Texas
Overview
TYPE3’s map data lists Switch THE ROCK Campus in Round Rock with `Announced` status and 0 MW. Switch’s official 2021 announcement identifies The Rock as the Texas location of its Fifth Prime data-center campus, next to Dell Technologies’ global headquarters, and says the land agreement would allow more than 1.5 million square feet of Tier 5 data-center space. The announcement also describes a broader Switch Texas ecosystem exceeding 2 million square feet and 185 MW upon completion after the Data Foundry acquisition.
Those figures require scope discipline. The 185 MW number applies to the wider Texas ecosystem, not necessarily The Rock alone, and the 1.5 million-square-foot statement is a planned campus buildout rather than proof of operating space. Switch’s current Austin page presents The Rock as part of the Austin exascale ecosystem and separately describes acquired Data Foundry locations. The reviewed sources do not establish a current building schedule, energized IT load, tenant allocation, or available inventory for this map row.
Switch The Rock’s description connects the recognizable Switch and Round Rock terms while separating the campus plan, portfolio aggregation, and live commercial supply. Its current project name, parcels, construction milestones, utility delivery, customer buildings, and orderable critical-IT capacity still require confirmation before TYPE3’s map data moves out of Announced / 0 MW. Data Foundry properties are not duplicate The Rock buildings.
