This is from the horse's mouth:

The 1.5 billion-dollar one million square-foot Bluffdale / Camp Williams LEED Silver facility houses a 100,000 sq-ft mission critical Tier III data center. The remaining 900,000 SF is used for technical support and administrative space.

One million square feet is 22.9568411 acres.

So the Utah site is about twenty three acres.

Unless the NSA is off by a factor of ten, which is possible.
