Rowan Project Temple Data Center: 300MW Hyperscale Campus Temple Texas

Status: Under Construction   |   Location: Bob White Road Corridor, Temple, Bell County, TX 76501, Texas, United States

Project Overview

Project Temple is a major $700 million-plus hyperscale data center campus developed by Rowan Digital Infrastructure across approximately 700 acres in Temple, Texas, positioning the project as a significant addition to the rapidly expanding Central Texas digital infrastructure market. Designed to address growing demand for cloud computing, artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, and other data-intensive workloads, the campus is planned to provide up to 300 MW of capacity and offers substantial room for phased development and future expansion. Its strategic location in Central Texas places the project within a growing technology and connectivity corridor while providing access to established utility and industrial infrastructure. A key element of Project Temple’s development strategy is the reuse and transfer of existing local industrial power infrastructure, allowing the project to accelerate access to the substantial electrical capacity required for hyperscale computing while potentially reducing the time and complexity associated with developing entirely new utility infrastructure. The project also benefits from fast-tracked entitlements, supporting a more streamlined development process and helping shorten the timeline between site acquisition, construction, and operational deployment. Sustainability is another important component of the campus design, with Rowan Digital Infrastructure incorporating measures intended to reduce resource consumption and improve long-term operational efficiency. Water conservation strategies are being integrated into the facility’s infrastructure to minimize pressure on local water resources, while the use of lower-carbon construction materials can help reduce embodied emissions associated with the development and construction process. The campus is also expected to incorporate high-efficiency cooling architectures capable of managing the increasing thermal loads generated by dense computing environments, including advanced AI accelerator deployments. By combining substantial planned capacity, existing power infrastructure, accelerated development processes, and sustainability-focused engineering, Project Temple demonstrates how hyperscale campuses can be developed more efficiently while addressing environmental and resource considerations. With its large land footprint and strategic Central Texas location, the project is positioned to support the region’s growing demand for cloud services, AI computing, enterprise applications, and next-generation digital infrastructure.
