Data Centers

We are excited to announce the Kansas City Data Center is now serving traffic. That means this data center is now part of our global infrastructure that brings our technologies and programs to life, making it possible to connect billions of people worldwide. 

Since breaking ground in 2022, we’ve been proud to call Kansas City, Missouri home. We chose Kansas City because it offered excellent infrastructure, a robust electrical grid, a strong pool of talent for construction and operations jobs, and incredible community partners. Construction of the Kansas City Data Center has resulted in an average of 1,500 skilled trade workers on site at peak, and the data center will support more than 100 operational jobs once completed. This facility represents an investment of more than $1 billion in the state of Missouri.

From the beginning, we have been committed to being an active partner in the Kansas City community to support its long-term vitality. Since we broke ground in 2022, we have enjoyed a strong partnership with this community, providing more than $1 million in direct funding to Clay County, Platte County and City of Kansas City Missouri schools and nonprofits, including through our annual Data Center Community Action Grants.

Meta approaches data center sustainability from the ground up — from design and construction to operations. We prioritize water stewardship with our Kansas City Data Center using a cooling technology that is significantly more water efficient than the industry standard. Plus, the data center captures and infiltrates rainwater on site and incorporates water-saving fixtures and technologies within data center facilities. 

Like at all of our data centers, the Kansas City Data Center’s electricity use is matched with 100% clean and renewable energy. And, we’re proud to say that our Kansas City Data Center is LEED Gold certified — achieving very high standards for energy efficiency, water conservation, supply chain responsibility and recycling.

We are proud to work alongside Mayor Quinton Lucas, Missouri Partnership, Kansas City Area Development Council, Evergy, Missouri Department of Economic Development, Turner Construction, and all of our local partners for helping us get to today. We are extremely proud to be part of the Kansas City community and look forward to continuing to strengthen our partnership for years to come.
