Meta has announced plans to develop its 19th data center in the US and its 23rd globally, covering 715,000 square feet in Rosemount, Minnesota. The company plans to invest over USD 800 million, creating approximately 1,000 construction jobs and 100 on-site positions in the region.
The data center facility will prioritize energy efficiency, operational flexibility, and sustainable practices. Specifically, it will optimize energy consumption, ensure operational adaptability, and implement environmentally friendly initiatives. Once operational, the Rosemount Data Center will support Meta's AI workloads, facilitating user connections, community engagement, and business growth.
Furthermore, Meta's investments in fresh renewable projects will provide the data center with all of its energy needs. Additionally, the building itself will achieve LEED Gold certification, demonstrating its commitment to environmental sustainability. The project, internally referred to as "Project Bigfoot," was in the preplanning stage for several years before its announcement. Meta acquired 280 acres of land from the University of Minnesota for the development. The project is expected to be completed in two years.
Jeffersonville, Indiana: This $800 million project will be Meta's 18th data center in the US. Announced in 2023, it'll be designed to handle the demanding computing needs of AI workloads, likely utilizing liquid-cooled hardware for efficient heat management.
Temple, Texas: Construction restarted in 2023 on this data center after a global pause by Meta for design revisions. The revamped design prioritizes denser deployment of GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) – crucial for processing power in AI tasks
Supporting Meta's AI Workload: This data center will be specifically optimized to handle Meta's growing focus on artificial intelligence (AI). The massive computing power housed here will fuel the algorithms that power features across their platforms, facilitating experiences like facial recognition, personalized recommendations, and content filtering.
Community Partnership: Meta emphasizes its desire to be a positive contributor to Rosemount. The company recognizes the potential concerns regarding environmental and noise impacts and assures adherence to established regulations. They aim to build trust and collaboration with the community throughout the process.
Infrastructure and Renewable Energy: Meta acknowledges the importance of a robust infrastructure for its data centers. Partnering with Xcel Energy, the company aims to utilize 100% renewable energy to power the facility.
| What is LEED certification? |
|
LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. It's a widely recognized green building rating system that encourages sustainable practices throughout a building's life cycle. The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) created LEED, a framework for the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of buildings that focuses on resource efficiency and environmental responsibility.
LEED-certified buildings aim to minimize their carbon footprint through energy efficiency, water conservation, and the use of recycled materials. This translates to lower operating costs and a smaller impact on the environment. |
