Our Prineville Data Center is growing again!

Our Prineville Data Center is growing again!

We are thrilled to announce that we will be expanding the site by 900,000 square feet with two new buildings. Since 2010, when we broke ground on our first custom-built data center here in Prineville, we have continued to build and expand and we anticipate keeping construction crews busy for years to come, with approximately 1000 workers on site at peak. Once completed, this 11-building campus—which, at nearly 4.6 million square feet, is Facebook’s largest data center in the U.S.—will represent an investment of more than $2 billion.

Our data centers are among the most energy and water efficient data center facilities in the world. Our Prineville Data Center is supported by 100% renewable energy, including two solar projects located right here in Oregon. We also have two water restoration projects in Oregon that are helping overcome the increasing demand for water and support the local community.

Today, we are also announcing a new $60,000 grant for Crook County School District’s K-12 robotics program. Facebook is proud to be part of the Prineville community and to support STEM education. This is the third year of the Oregon Robotics Tournament and Outreach Program (ORTOP), which is now at $150,000 in total support by Facebook.

For over a decade, Prineville, Crook County and the State of Oregon have been great partners and we look forward to a continued strong and fruitful partnership for years to come. Thank you, Prineville!
