Summary

Datum's post published on 17 September 2026 calls its Manchester campus a live facility where power, cooling, connectivity, security and data governance function under real operational pressure, and invites visitors to see its operations. Its 7 October post adds that MCR2, its newly built Wythenshawe facility, opened in June 2025 and that Datum runs two Manchester data centres. Operation is established for the campus's existing MCR1 and MCR2 data centres; no new building is implied. evidence

Location details

Coordinates: 53.37913, -2.25862
Geometry licence: all-rights-reserved
Use scope: Campus locator
Scope class: operator_linked_named_facility_marker_as_campus_locator
Authority: Compiled location reference
Source entity: Campus
Method: operator_selected_google_maps_feature_coordinates
Derivation: direct_geometry
Precision scope: Operator-linked named Google Maps place 'Datum Datacentres - Manchester' (!3d/!4d place coordinates), used as the campus marker for Datum's Wavell Road site holding MCR1 and MCR2. It does not locate either building, a footprint, the plot boundary or an entrance.
Horizontal uncertainty: Not reported
The operator-linked map place publishes no surveyed accuracy, and no official boundary for the Wavell Road buildings was used; the postcode centroid agrees within about 5 m.
Geometry evidence: 0bc8af78

A locator places the site on the map. It is not a building footprint, a construction extent or a surveyed boundary unless the use scope is an official boundary, and even then it is a parcel or permit boundary.
