Wonder Valley
Data Centre Park
Alberta, Canada
At full build-out, the 7.5-gigawatt (GW) Wonder Valley development will be the world’s largest AI data centre campus. The campus will eventually encompass over 8,000 acres with more than 50 individual data centres and a full-service downtown innovation district featuring hotels, retail, dining, and offices, with an additional 5,000 acres of optioned land for potential expansion. With planning and design led by Gensler’s Critical Facilities team, the campus and buildings set a new standard in digital infrastructure with structures enabled for unparalleled computing capacity while prioritizing environmental stewardship.
Situated in the Canadian Rockies of Northwest Alberta, Wonder Valley’s architecture is inspired by its natural surroundings, boasting expansive glass facades capturing dramatic treetop views, as well as mass timber elements and natural materials that tie the built environment to its context. The campus will incorporate “behind the meter” on-site power generation designed for carbon capture integration, taking advantage of the natural gas located on-site and harvesting it for use in the power plants. This approach enables faster speed to market, control in off-grid solutions, and ensures that Wonder Valley is poised to be the world’s lowest-carbon-producing AI data centre campus.
