Generation behind the meter carries the compute load, with advanced atomic power in the completed campus
Location
Why Missouri
Missouri provides a strategic foundation for next-generation infrastructure: industrial land, central U.S. access, engineering talent, and long-term development potential.
Industrial Scale
Large-scale infrastructure requires land, logistics, and room to expand.
Engineering Talent
Missouri offers access to technical institutions, skilled trades, and a growing infrastructure workforce.
Long-Term Development
IRDC is being planned as a phased campus designed to support infrastructure growth over time.
The platform
How the campus fits together
The campus is planned as one system: power generated on site, proprietary thermal management, repeatable data halls and carrier-neutral connectivity, designed together rather than assembled from separate projects.
On-site power generation
Generation behind the meter carries the compute load, with advanced atomic power in the completed campus.
Proprietary thermal management
Designed for optimal energy use, in a low-water campus.
Repeatable data halls
12 MW GPU and HPC halls and 5 MW general-purpose halls, repeated in phases.
Carrier-neutral connectivity
Dual meet-me rooms and diverse fiber pathways planned, so customers keep their choice of carrier.
Heat reuse
Recovered heat made available for beneficial use, where a real use exists.
Development status
Where the project stands
The campus is in design review, and capacity discussions are open now. Early engagement shapes hall requirements, density and deployment timing.
Announced
Design approach
The integrated campus design has been announced publicly.
In progress
Engineering and design review
Power, thermal and data hall design are being developed together.
Open now
Capacity discussions
Initial conversations, with a mutual NDA where detailed planning calls for one.
Ahead
Development and construction
Approvals, procurement and phased construction follow engineering.
Ahead
Commercial operation
We will give a date when we can stand behind it.
