The Illinois-based insurance giant has submitted plans to build a 129,128-ft² data center on its new corporate campus in Richardson, Texas. The proposed facility will take up approximately 15 acres in the Dallas suburb’s CityLine mixed-use development project, and documents filed with the city have requested parking for 130 employees.

Plans submitted to the city for the project – named Project Black Flag – show a one-story data center designed by Corgan Architects of Dallas. CityLine will soon house State Farm’s regional headquarters (currently under construction), and will be home to more than 8000 employees.

Richardson is part of the Dallas area’s Telecom Corridor, which is home to an extremely high concentration of telecommunications/networking companies, including many of the largest in the US. Among the 5000-plus tech corporations with offices in the Dallas suburb: AT&T, Verizon, Cisco Systems, Samsung, MetroPCS, and Texas Instruments.

State Farm is the largest US insurer in terms of net premiums written.  The company claims to store more than ten times the data held by the Library of Congress, with more than 10,000 physical servers installed across four data centers located in Dallas, Phoenix, Atlanta, and its home base in Bloomington, Ill.
