Core Scientific Plans Auburn, Alabama, Data Center Operations

02/27/2025
Core Scientific Inc., a provider of digital infrastructure for high-performance computing, plans to establish data center operations in Auburn, Alabama. The $135 million project is expected to create at least nine jobs.

The new facility will be located in the AUBix data center and will launch with a capacity of 16 megawatts.

“Auburn represents an exciting new chapter for Core Scientific as we establish our presence in Alabama,” said Core Scientific CEO Adam Sullivan. “This facility is expected to play a key role in our high-performance computing strategy, and we are grateful for the strong partnership and support from local and state leaders, including City of Auburn officials. We look forward to contributing to Auburn’s growing technology sector and strengthening the regional economy.”

Core Scientific currently operates nine data centers across six states, Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, North Dakota and Texas, with an additional facility under development in Oklahoma.

“Core Scientific’s expansion into Alabama highlights the state’s growing prominence in the technology and digital infrastructure sector,” noted Ellen McNair, Secretary of the Alabama Department of Commerce. “This investment not only strengthens our state’s economy but also positions Alabama as a key player in the future of high-performance computing.”
