Haskell is driving the creation of one of the Southeast’s largest mission-critical developments.

Haskell is delivering a greenfield hyperscale data center campus designed to support next-generation cloud computing, artificial intelligence processing and high-density workloads. The 420-acre site is being developed as a multi-phase campus capable of supporting long-term expansion, resilient utility infrastructure, and scalable deployment of high-performance compute environments.

The project consists of five purpose-built data center facilities, each containing twelve independent data halls engineered for modular deployment and rapid commissioning. Three ancillary buildings support campus operations, including logistics, maintenance, security, and operational command functions.

The campus will deliver approximately 250 MW of critical IT load, positioning it among the largest mission-critical developments in the region and a major infrastructure investment supporting digital infrastructure growth in the Southeastern United States.

Under the CMAR delivery model, Haskell partnered with the owner and design team from early preconstruction through execution, providing cost certainty, constructability input, procurement strategy, and schedule control while ultimately holding the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) and construction risk.

Early engagement streamlined preconstruction, procurement and phased deployment.

Haskell engaged early in site selection and design development to align decisions with constructability, procurement realities, and phased deployment requirements. This approach enabled early-release packages for utilities and foundations, and the procurement of critical electrical and mechanical equipment, to maintain hyperscale deployment timelines.

Key CMAR services include:

• Real-time cost modeling during design evolution
• Trade partner market engagement and capacity analysis
• Long-lead equipment procurement strategy
• Constructability reviews for mission-critical systems
• Phased GMP development aligned to deployment schedule
• Schedule compression planning for early data hall turnover
• Logistics and site utilization planning for a multi-building campus
• Risk identification and mitigation planning with the owner and design team

Site development and civil infrastructure decisions ensure expansion without disruption.

As a greenfield campus, the project required full infrastructure enablement across the 420-acre site. Infrastructure is designed to support future expansion phases without disrupting live operations. Features include:

• Heavy-haul access roads and operational circulation routes
• Underground duct banks and utility corridors
• High-voltage substation interconnection
• Campus medium-voltage distribution loop
• Fiber carrier pathways and routing

The critical power infrastructure enables continuous operations and scalability.

Each building supports hyperscale reliability requirements and continuous uptime operations. The electrical system supports evolving rack densities and AI-driven compute loads while maintaining hyperscale reliability expectations. Features include:

• Utility substation integration delivering campus medium-voltage distribution
• Redundant electrical topology supporting concurrent maintainability
• Generator yards with fuel storage for extended runtime
• Segmented electrical distribution rooms per data hall

Mechanical and cooling systems balance a variety of present and future needs.

To manage high-density thermal loads, the campus incorporates scalable cooling infrastructure. The cooling strategy balances energy efficiency, operational resiliency, and adaptability for future hardware density changes. Features include:

• Air-cooled HVAC systems
• Containment strategies for airflow efficiency
• Redundant pumping and distribution loops
• Water treatment and filtration infrastructure

Standardized construction and architecture accommodate accelerated delivery and phased commissioning.

Each of the five buildings follows a standardized deployment model to enable repeatability and accelerated delivery. Construction sequencing enables early commissioning of completed halls while adjacent areas remain under construction. Features include:

• Hardened building envelopes for operational resilience
• Electrical and mechanical galleries segregated from white space
• Loading docks and equipment staging areas
• Secure access-controlled circulation zones
• Operations and network infrastructure support spaces
• Administrative and collaboration areas for on-site teams

An integrated commissioning program allows phased capacity deployment.

Haskell is executing an integrated commissioning program, validating reliability prior to turnover. Phased turnover allows the owner to deploy capacity in alignment with demand growth. Features include:

• Level 1-3 commissioning with support/assistance of Level 4 & 5
• Factory witness testing
• Equipment startup and verification
• Full load bank simulation testing

Always a priority, safety gets the greatest possible focus.

Due to the scale and complexity, the project operates under a dedicated mission-critical framework:

• High-energy electrical work planning protocols
• Concurrent construction and commissioning controls
• Specialized trade partner training
• Structured quality verification processes
• Daily coordination between construction and operations teams

Project Impact

This hyperscale campus significantly expands regional digital infrastructure capacity and supports cloud and AI growth across the United States. The development represents a long-term investment in scalable computing infrastructure and regional economic expansion through advanced technology construction.

Haskell’s Mission Critical Expertise

Through the CMAR delivery model, Haskell provides early collaboration, cost certainty and execution accountability — enabling hyperscale clients to deploy capacity faster while maintaining strict reliability and uptime requirements.

The Mississippi campus demonstrates Haskell’s capability to deliver large-scale data center programs from raw land to operational readiness through disciplined planning, procurement leadership, and field execution.
