Microsoft Data centres and admin building approved
By Aideen O'Flaherty
MICROSOFT has been granted planning permission for an administration building and two data centres in Grange Castle Business Park, Clondalkin.
The tech giant lodged a planning application with South Dublin County Council last November, seeking permission for the demolition of an existing single-storey vacant house, garage and outhouse, and the removal of a temporary construction car park to make way for the development.

The development is to consist of a single one- to four-storey central administration building and two two-storey, with mezzanine, data centres.
The central administration building will comprise central office administration, with staff cafeteria, a staff gym and reception, with provision of PV panels on the roof.
Each data centre will include data halls, admin blocks comprising offices, a canteen, a loading dock, storage and ancillary areas, and a variety of mechanical and electrical plant areas/structures, including Modular Electrical Rooms (MERs), battery rooms and transformer areas.
