Facebook expand Prineville, Oregon data center for $750m

Social network and advertising giant Facebook plans to add another two buildings to its data center campus in Crook County, Oregon, by mid-2020.

The $750 million investment will bring the company's total footprint at the site to more than 3.2 million square feet (300,000 sq m), making it Facebook's largest data center location.

The campus is currently home to 1.25 million square feet (116,000 sq m) of Facebook facilities spread across three buildings; another two buildings were announced in 2017 and are currently under construction, expected to add 900,000 square feet (83,613 sq m) of data center space and 70,000 square feet (6,503 sq m) of office space.

While Facebook did not provide details on the latest expansion, numbers suggest that it will total roughly one million square feet (93,000 sq m)...
