Expanding our Fort Worth Data Center by approximately 170,000 square feet

We are excited to announce that we will be expanding our Fort Worth Data Center by approximately 170,000 square feet. Construction is starting now and we anticipate it will continue through 2022. 

This new addition will be part of our global data center infrastructure and will serve as what we call cold storage. It will operate similarly to the rest of the data center but will store posts and photos that are older or accessed less frequently. It is designed to preserve these memories in a sustainable and efficient way with servers that are powered on as needed. That means that when you want to share your #tbt photos they may be pulled from a facility like this. Fort Worth has been a great location for our data center which helped make our decision to add this facility.

Since we broke ground in 2015, construction has been continuous at this site and has had more than 1,200 construction workers on site at peak. Once completed, the more than 2.6 million square feet campus will represent an investment of more than $1.5 billion. Today, we have more than 150 people working at the data center. It is LEED Gold certified and supported by 100% renewable energy from right here in Texas.

We are proud to work alongside the City of Fort Worth, Tarrant County, the Alliance Texas Community and all of our partners, and we are thankful for their continued help in growing our presence in the area. We look forward to continuing to work together!
