This hyperscale data center campus—designed for one of the world’s most influential technology companies—serves as a cornerstone of their global digital infrastructure strategy. Anchored in the Midwest and spanning hundreds of thousands of square feet, the facility is a model of scale, speed, and technical sophistication.
At peak, more than 700 workers are active on-site, with Mortenson leading as the general contractor. What truly sets this project apart is its extraordinary speed—transforming a greenfield site into a fully operational hyperscale facility in less than 18 months, a pace virtually unmatched in the industry.
This project wasn't just about meeting a deadline or hitting a target–it was about fundamentally challenging and redefining the very limits of what's possible in our industry. From the unprecedented speed of deployment to the massive scale of our operations, it's a powerful testament to the grit, relentless ingenuity, and the will of this team to achieve the impossible.
