Facebook’s data center in Altoona, Iowa, continued its rapid growth pace, as the social network announced that work will begin on a third building this summer.

Plans for the second building on the site were revealed last April, and the data center went online last November.

Site manager Brice Towns broke the news in a note on the Altoona Data Center page:

The new building in Altoona will be the first “third” building on any data-center site in our network. We are on track to start serving traffic in the second building later this year.
