In October, Applied Digital’s Ellendale AI Data Center project in North Dakota continues to make remarkable strides. Following September’s progress on the utility substation and foundational infrastructure, we now see further development in the facility’s three-tiered structure. Spanning 363,000 square feet, this facility is designed to support a substantial 100MW IT load, positioning it as a key player in advancing AI infrastructure.

The first level, dedicated to critical utilities, has seen significant upgrades, reinforcing the center’s ability to ensure seamless and reliable operations. Meanwhile, work continues on the second and third levels, which house the expansive data halls. Each hall is engineered to support a 50MW IT load, fully optimized for high-performance AI-driven workloads. Advanced liquid cooling systems are being integrated, harnessing North Dakota’s naturally cool climate to maximize energy efficiency and sustainability.

The Ellendale AI Data Center is on track to set a new standard in AI infrastructure, showcasing Applied Digital’s dedication to both technological innovation and sustainable practices.
