Gigawatt-scale ambitions Meta’ s layout strategy extends beyond individual facility design to encompass massive multi-gigawatt campuses.
The Hyperion site in Richland Parish, Louisiana, is projected to reach 2GW by 2030, with potential to scale to 5GW. The site spans approximately three square miles and could encompass up to nine buildings, totalling more than four million square feet.
The Beaver Dam, Wisconsin facility, announced in November 2025, spans over 700,000 square feet and represents a US $ 1bn investment. Like other recent Meta facilities, it has been optimised specifically for AI workloads. Each new campus demonstrates Meta’ s commitment to building infrastructure that can scale rapidly.
Sustainability within flexible frameworks Despite the focus on speed and flexibility, Meta maintains that sustainability remains central to its layout decisions. The company aims to reach net zero emissions across its value chain by 2030, and Meta’ s data centre design is a significant component of this endeavour.
