MONTGOMERY, AL — Hensel Phelps is partnering with Meta in advancing their goal of achieving net-zero emissions across their value chain by 2030. Meta has launched one of the latest steps toward this goal at its Montgomery, Alabama, data center campus in partnership with Hensel Phelps.
Hensel Phelps is providing general contractor services for a new data center hub, and the scope of work includes a new administrative facility utilizing mass timber construction — a renewable, lower-carbon alternative to traditional steel and concrete.
As part of a larger pilot initiative across multiple campuses, the Montgomery site is among the first of Meta’s data centers to integrate mass timber into its infrastructure. This engineered wood material offers a host of environmental and construction benefits, from significant reductions in embodied carbon to faster and more efficient installation.
Working alongside mass timber provider Binderholz, Hensel Phelps is delivering a structure that is not only functional and resilient but also sets a new precedent for sustainable data center design.
Hensel Phelps is embracing mass timber across its portfolio. This approach is also helping partners like Meta reduce emissions, improve efficiency, and create healthier, more sustainable spaces for the people who keep the digital world running.
