Commonwealth of Massachusetts Springfield Data Center
The state government's backup data center, built on the 2.2-acre former Technical High School site next to the federal courthouse in downtown Springfield. Also known as: EOTSS Springfield data center.
Who is behind it
The record, newest first
EOTSS's FY2026 chargeback models (effective July 1, 2025) include in-state and non-state co-location services at the Springfield data center, for which the state says it has set rates. (Commonwealth of Massachusetts, EOTSS (mass.gov), Sept. 5, 2025)
The state lists substantial completion in February 2013, with about 11,500 square feet of computer room in phase one, shell space for a second phase, a Tier III N+1 design and a LEED Gold target. (Commonwealth of Massachusetts (mass.gov), Oct. 24, 2026)
Officials broke ground; The Reminder reported a $110 million, 148,000-square-foot building meant to help merge 183 state data centers into two. (The Reminder, June 28, 2010)
The state picked the former Springfield Technical High School as the site for a facility to back up its primary data center in Chelsea; Data Center Knowledge reported a $76 million, 114,000-square-foot plan. (Data Center Knowledge, Jan. 8, 2009)
Conflicts and open questions
- Reported cost and size figures differ: $76 million and 114,000 sq ft (2009) versus $110 million and 148,000 sq ft (2010).
- The Reminder spells the street Eliot and the state spells it Elliot; no street number was found, so coordinates are approximate for the Elliot Street site.
