Reshaping Data Center Construction
At the forefront of sustainable data center construction, Hensel Phelps is proud to partner with Meta in advancing their bold goal of achieving net zero emissions across their value chain by 2030. Meta has launched one of the latest steps toward this ambitious target at its Montgomery, Alabama data center campus in partnership with Hensel Phelps. Hensel Phelps is providing general contractor services for a new data center hub and the scope of work includes a new administrative facility utilizing mass timber construction, a renewable, lower-carbon alternative to traditional steel and concrete.
As part of a larger pilot initiative across multiple campuses, the Montgomery site is among the first of Meta’s data centers to integrate mass timber into its infrastructure. This engineered wood material offers a host of environmental and construction benefits, from significant reductions in embodied carbon to faster and more efficient installation.
Mass Timber in Data Centers
Working alongside mass timber provider Binderholz, Hensel Phelps is delivering a structure that’s not only functional and resilient but also sets a new precedent for sustainable data center design.
Hensel Phelps is embracing mass timber across our portfolio—including in projects like the Caltech Resnick Sustainability Center—as part of our value to diversity in our building. This approach is also helping partners like Meta reduce emissions, improve efficiency and create healthier, more sustainable spaces for the people who keep our digital world running.
