QTS Fayetteville Data Center Campus (Project Excalibur)

QTS Data Centers. Under construction.

QTS is building what has been called one of the world's largest data center campuses on 615 acres at 1435 Highway 54 West in Fayetteville, planned for up to 16 buildings totaling about 6.6 million square feet of data center space plus a 400,000 square foot office building, with more than 1 billion dollars in planned investment. Construction began in 2023, and by March 2026 the campus included about 13 buildings totaling roughly 6.2 million square feet, with full buildout expected by 2032. In 2025 county officials found QTS had drawn nearly 30 million gallons of water from the county system over about 15 months without paying, and it was later retroactively billed about 150,000 dollars.
