Profile

Project scope: Google's Midlothian campus comprises five identified buildings. Building 1 began construction in June 2019; Building 2 was fitted out in 2020; Building 3 was permitted for construction beginning July 2019 and has an inspection-complete record; Building 4 was scheduled for construction from April 2024 through December 2025; and Building 5 began construction on January 28, 2026, with a permit completion date of February 24, 2027.
Power and grid: 85.15 MW of utility service is reported for the exact facility.
Compute role: Operating Google data-center building at the Google Midlothian campus. Public evidence identifies the facility and its operating company, but does not disclose building-specific compute configuration or operating details.
Cooling and environment: Asset-specific cooling design and water demand are not disclosed. Google aims to replenish more freshwater than it consumes, on average, across its data centers and offices by 2030; no Midlothian-building-specific implementation or quantity was identified.
Local reporting: Reports that Google was behind the Sharka data-center project at RailPort Business Park in Midlothian, including the projected job count and tax abatements.
