Status: Under Construction / Development | Location: Sturgeon County, near Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
The Meta Sturgeon County AI Hyperscale Campus represents a monumental milestone in North American digital infrastructure, marking Meta's first-ever direct data center investment on Canadian soil. Spanning close to 1,750 acres near Edmonton in Sturgeon County, Alberta, this massive C$13 billion ($9.5 billion USD) mega-campus is explicitly engineered to handle the massive compute loads required by next-generation generative AI foundation models and global digital service networks. The campus layout features roughly 2.9 million square feet of development across multiple highly specialized, heavy-load data halls. To accommodate dense graphics processing unit (GPU) clusters operating at high power thresholds per rack, the facility moves away from conventional air-cooling infrastructure. Instead, the design incorporates a fully integrated direct-to-chip liquid cooling architecture paired with closed-loop thermal configurations, allowing the campus to target a highly optimized Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of 1.15 while drastically minimising local environmental water consumption.
