Innovative 210,000-Square-Foot Facility in Mesa, AZ will save 94 million gallons of water annually and deliver significant capacity to the Southwest’s thriving tech hub
Haydon, a leading full-service general contractor with over 30 years of experience in the Southwest, officially broke ground on a highly-advanced data center for Edged Energy, a fast-growing sustainable infrastructure provider. This project will support the East Valley’s growing digital economy’s needs by delivering 36 MW of heavy critical load capacity (the amount of power continuously supplied to essential systems like servers and cooling equipment) with an eye toward climate change by using zero water and significantly less power than traditional data centers.
Located at 8811 E Warner Road off the Loop 202 on a 12+-plus acre campus, the 210,000-square foot facility will use the ThermalWorks ultra-efficient waterless cooling technology system to handle high-density AI loads (processing massive amounts of data at high speeds, requiring a lot of computing power) without using water. According to Edged, this results not only in an expected savings of more than 94 million gallons of water annually, but also 74 percent less overhead energy than conventional data centers which place immense strain on power grids and use billions of gallons of water annually.
"This project is incredibly exciting for us at Haydon," said Justin Newman, Haydon Partner and Senior Vice President of the Building Division. "We're at the forefront of blending cutting-edge innovation with sustainable practices. By partnering with Edged to prioritize energy efficiency and water conservation, we’re not only addressing environmental concerns but also supporting the rapid, dynamic growth of the Valley’s tech ecosystem. It’s a unique opportunity to push the boundaries of what’s possible in construction, ensuring that our work today contributes to a more sustainable and technologically advanced future for the region."
