Social media giant Meta and concrete maker Amrize last week announced a partnership to develop a “first-of-its-kind, AI-optimized concrete mix” tailored to meet the specific needs of Meta’s data center in Rosemount, Minnesota.
“We work to design our data centers as efficiently and sustainably as possible, while driving our AI ambitions forward,” said Julius Kusuma, research scientist at Meta. “By partnering with industry expert Amrize, the University of Illinois, and Mortenson, we were able to maximize the performance and environmental profile of the concrete being used in our Rosemount Data Center. We are excited to continue testing different ways we can improve our material design in future projects with Amrize.”
“Partnering with Meta and using AI to develop an innovative concrete mix that meets the unique needs of data centers is just the beginning,” said Jaime Hill, president of Amrize Building Materials. “Using AI, we can optimize our specialized concrete formulations for data center requirements, from performance needs like strength and durability to thermal regulation and energy efficiency. We look forward to continuing this exciting work with Meta to scale up the adoption of advanced tailored concrete mixes.”
