The 250-acre campus will have three 550,000-sq-ft single-story data halls with 1.65 million sq ft of data centre space.
Closed-loop cooling systems will limit daily water use to levels comparable to a standard office building, which Wallbridge maintains will protect local water resources.
100% of power supplied will come from existing resources, augmented by a project-financed battery storage area.
The Barn is expected to create more than 2,500 union construction jobs, 450 permanent onsite jobs, 1,500 county-wide jobs and 1,000 indirect jobs.
It is the first data centre built under the memorandum of understanding between OpenAI and North America’s building trades unions.
The Barn forms part of a larger Stargate campus in Saline Township, a 4.5GW project between OpenAI and Oracle.
