Auburn
Project of Core Scientific
Where it stands
Core Scientific leased, with an option to buy, an existing Auburn, AL data center with about 11 MW of critical IT load in late 2024. Through early 2026 it described the site as available for colocation, with ~30 MW leasable. On July 27, 2026 it signed Neocloud leases covering Auburn and Dalton Phase 3, which show ~32 MW leased at Auburn. Development is progressing, with initial delivery estimated for 1H 2027, and no passage shows customer capacity currently in service.
