DEAC is a data center located in Riga, the capital of Latvia and the biggest city in the Baltic nations. A region that doesn't have too many data centers.
The DEAC data center is an underground datacenter, located in a former bomb shelter under the Grizlinkalns park in Riga. DEAC's facility in the large bomb shelter features all the typical data center features and has a total capacity of 3x1Gbit/sec.
Converting existing underground facilities, such as mines and bomb shelters, to data centers is a rising trend, as it is a cheap way to get a secure underground facility compared to building one from scratch.

SpringNet Undeground (Springfield, Missouri)
SpringNet Underground is a very well known data center within the industry, as they have received a lot of press attention due to their underground architecture.
The data center is located 85 feet (26~ meters) below the surface in an underground mine, which makes it a safe place for co-location as well as a naturally cooled facility, which lowers the costs of cooling.
The Springnet Underground facility was constructed in 2000 and has a total of 56,500 square feet (5.250~ square meters) with very high ceilings, which has been used to develop a "building in building" concept. It was constructed with high focus on security and is manned 24/7.
Services include racks, foot prints, cages and dedicated rooms (separate buildings in their "building in building concept").
Unfortunately their website isn't very modern, however it does feature interesting details as well as a very cool interactive model of the data center that's definitely worth checking out.
