According to LiquidWeb, "DataCenter3" will support 25,000 new high performance web servers, create 600 new high-tech jobs with training and full paid benefits, and contribute $80 million of investment to Michigan's Internet infrastructure.

In his video update, LiquidWeb infrastructure director Chris Strandt explained the progress of the large project in the state's capital, Lansing.

"We've got all of the tile in, we've got all the walls in," says Strandt in the video. "The only pieces left are finishing pieces - the flooring and the electrical. The electrical is a big component of this build."

LiquidWeb has previously built two data centers in Lansing, a 11,000 square foot one in 2003, and a 32,000 square foot facility built in 2005.

This new facility, according to Strandt, will substantially increase LiquidWeb's office space. He said the rough distribution of the new facility will be 40,000 square feet of office space and 50,000 of data center space.
