Crews work on the ComEd substation section of a future Microsoft data center just east of Barrington Road, along Lakewood Boulevard, in Hoffman Estates. The station will serve Microsoft’s 53-acre campus just north of Bell Works Chicagoland. The site is east of another data center project by Compass Datacenters on the former site of the Sears headquarters, between Route 72 and I-90, also in Hoffman Estates. Crews have been working to demolish all of the existing Sears buildings at that site.
