New Data Center to Open in Spring

George Mason University’s Data Center will move from Thompson Hall to the newly-completed Aquia Building at the start of the spring semester, Facilities Management said.

“Substantial completion will be done by Jan. 28, which means that the electric, mechanical, and building and building systems will be complete,” said Mike Herman, a capital outlay engineer and project manager. “Then there will be inspection, and occupancy permits, and then we move the furniture in. We hope to have a certificate of occupancy by March 1.”
