Clarksville facility’s C-Hall completed in just three months, showcasing unprecedented speed-to-market and adaptive reuse capabilities.
TECfusions, owner and operator of high-density data centers, announced the completion of the third hall at its Clarksville facility. This milestone demonstrates TECfusions’ commitment to rapid deployment and innovative adaptive reuse strategies, setting a new standard for speed and efficiency in the data center industry.
The Clarksville data center project has progressed at an extraordinary pace since its inception. TECfusions acquired the site with 500kW of customer power load already live, then began their own construction in October, 2023, standing up 6 MW by the end of December. Through phased deployment, capacity grew to an impressive 24 MW by June 2024, with C-Hall contributing 10.5 MW to this total.

“The completion of C-Hall in just three months is a testament to our innovative approach and dedication to meeting the urgent demands of AI and high-performance computing,” stated Simon Tusha, Founder and CTO of TECfusions. “By leveraging adaptive reuse and deploying over 200 skilled workers around the clock, we’ve transformed a dormant industrial facility into a cutting-edge data center at unprecedented speed.”
The Clarksville facility showcases TECfusions’ ability to rapidly deliver AI-ready infrastructure. Plans for on-site microgrid power generation, alongside utility power, will bring the full site capacity to 220 MW; this data center is poised to meet the growing demands of AI workloads. The company’s proactive approach, including advance equipment purchases and effective manpower deployment, has been crucial in achieving these ambitious timelines.
“TECfusions’ investment in Clarksville will be a catalyst for economic growth in our region,” said James D. Jennings, Chairman, Mecklenburg County Board of Supervisors. “Their adaptive reuse strategy not only brings new life to existing infrastructure but also demonstrates a commitment to sustainable development that aligns with our community’s values.”
“TECfusions’ expansion in our region marks a significant milestone in our community’s growth,” said Jeff Jones, Town Manager for the Town of Clarksville. “Their investment not only brings cutting-edge technology and job opportunities but also enhances our local economy. We look forward to having TECfusions as a long-term business partner in Clarksville.
