Building 1 operational. This is estimated based on construction progress in [October 2023](https://earth.google.com/web/@39.72490515,-82.68845499,280.4138206a,1128.806013d,35y,-0h,0t,0r/data=CnUaXRJXCiUweDg4NDc4OWI3MDRhZGE1MWQ6MHg0Y2Q1MjE2ZGM0YTQ0YTc5GSZeVEH73ENAISDkBo2qq1TAKhwxMDQgV2hpbGV5IFJkLCBMYW5jYXN0ZXIsIE9IGAIgASoQCAESCjIwMjMtMDUtMTAYAUICCAFCAggASg0I____________ARAA). This also corresponds to a [2023 article](https://ohiocapitaljournal.com/2023/08/29/google-announces-plans-to-invest-1-7-billion-in-a-trio-of-central-ohio-data-centers/) where a Google spokesperson says that the "the Lancaster data center will open later this year".

Building 2 is close to completion. Structurally it is already complete, but there is still some equipment strewn around the building that suggests commissioning is ongoing.

Building 2 operational. This is supported by the state of Building 2 a month prior, which is entirely complete outside of some equipment that was removed later on.

At this point, Building 1 and 2 have since already been operational. Additionally, there is visible steam showing clear evidence of operational for both before this date.
