The zero-carbon computing base is the first of four large Centrin campuses planned in Ulanqab's Bayin area, which together cover more than 2,000 mu. It has 12 computing buildings and room for about 25,000 racks, and Centrin sized it to take computing demand from Beijing, about 4.2 ms away. Centrin pairs it with its Beijing campus, which faces customers, and its Tianjin Wuqing park, the other back-end site. The design water usage effectiveness is 0.97.
Part of the first phase went into service in August 2024. In August 2026 the other first-phase halls and the second-phase Beijing-Inner Mongolia Cooperation Data Economy Industrial Park next door were still being fitted out, with full service due in 2027. The campus won projects from OPPO and Alibaba in August and September 2026.
