In 2009, GFDC and the City of Fremont commissioned H.F. Lenz to conduct a Comprehensive Site Assessment of the 80-acre property now called the Fremont Technology Park. The final report concluded that the Fremont site was well-suited for locating a Data Center operation and the Fremont Technology Park was born! In 2011, Olsson Associates was contracted to perform the Master Site Plan (Overview can be downloaded below. Contact GFDC for the full Due Diligence Report).

Having access to four carriers at the Technology Park (Great Plains, American Broadband, Time Warner and CenturyLink) provides the desired redundant fiber providers, access to Omaha carrier hotel and Point-of-Presence in Lincoln, that is very appealing to data center and other technology businesses. In addition, Fremont is one of the only data center sites able to provide two additional providers for power redundancy. The site has 20MW available fed from redundant substations with more power to come. We will grow with you!

Metropolitan Community College in Fremont offers a data center management degree program that trains students on various aspects of data center design and management and has a hands-on working data center lab for real world training for its students. The college offers the first of its kind two year degree program in green data center management in partnership with IBM.
