Lambda Lowndes County Campus

Lambda is developing a significant data center campus in Lowndes County, Alabama, located near Burkville at the junction of US Highway 80 and Alabama Highway 21. This project, previously known as Project Red Clay, involves an estimated investment of $33.1 billion in Alabama and is expected to generate 1,000 construction jobs and over 225 full-time roles upon completion.

The campus is planned to offer 1GW of capacity, with the potential to scale up to 1.5GW. While specific building details are not fully provided, previous reports suggest a total of approximately 3.01 million sq ft of buildings across four data halls, a warehouse, and an office, situated on 800 acres.

Construction is anticipated to begin in Q1 2027 and take up to five years, with initial operations expected in Q4 2028. The facility will be powered by Alabama Power, pending regulatory approval. Lambda is committed to community engagement and has established a Community Benefits Agreement with the Central Alabama Community Foundation, investing $10 million. The company will cover the full cost of power and grid infrastructure and utilize closed-loop cooling systems to minimize water consumption.
