CDC Brooklyn Campus

Brooklyn, Victoria, AustraliaPartially operational

Planned / design: 350 MW
Updated: Oct 29, 2026

CDC’s Brooklyn campus in Melbourne is partly operational, with BK1 and BK2 shown as operating in its March 2026 investor presentation. Its planned capacity exceeds 350 MW, but the operator does not define this as IT load or operating demand. Monash University reported MAVERIC launched at Brooklyn on 5 June 2026, with researchers already using the system. The undated location page still names only BK1 as operational; dated government and investor evidence supports two facilities, not whole-campus completion. Current occupied capacity, title ownership and project-specific financing remain unverified.

Additional project facts

Reviewed named operating facilities

Actual

CDC’s 26 March 2026 investor presentation marks BK1 and BK2 as operational. This corroborates the February government report of two operating facilities. The undated operator location page still refers only to BK1; neither source establishes individual opening dates, occupied load or full campus completion.

Reviewed research deployment

Actual

Monash University reported the official launch of MAVERIC at CDC’s Brooklyn campus on 5 June 2026, with researchers already using the system. This is evidence of a named research deployment, not a disclosed lease term, exclusive tenancy or quantified campus load.

Electric grid

Reported context

Historical substation work specified initial 33 MVA and ultimate 99 MVA maximum demand with N−1 supply. These are substation-design figures, not the full-campus IT envelope. Zinfra was the contractor’s client and Jemena the utility context.

Cooling system

Reported context

Operator describes LiquidCore closed-loop cooling without water consumed in primary cooling. Treat this as an operator design claim, not independently measured campus water consumption.
