Teesworks AI Mega Campus: Construction Ambition Meets Sustainability Scrutiny

Teesworks AI Mega Campus: Construction Ambition Meets Sustainability Scrutiny

Plans are advancing for a major AI data centre development at the Teesworks site in Northeast England, with the UK government aiming to position it as Europe’s largest AI infrastructure hub. But behind the headlines of digital transformation and investment, the project is fast becoming a focal point for debates around sustainability, governance, and planning priorities. Teesworks Ltd submitted a planning application in June for a proposed hyperscale campus covering nearly 500,000 square metres. The facility would anchor the UK’s second AI Growth Zone, complementing the existing site at Culham in Oxfordshire. The development forms part of the government’s AI Opportunities Action Plan and Compute Roadmap, both designed to increase the UK’s sovereign computing power. Backed by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), the project is seen as essential for scaling AI workloads, providing dedicated energy access, and embedding the infrastructure into wider industrial and academic ecosystems. Early interest from leading tech firms suggests strong commercial momentum, with site selection favouring Teesside’s ample brownfield space, utilities access, and regeneration incentives. Yet the project faces mounting tension from within government and beyond. The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) has flagged environmental risks, especially around the expected energy draw and water usage of large-scale AI centres. These concerns are amplified by a parallel proposal at the site: BP’s blue hydrogen and carbon capture (CCUS) facility. Local authorities and Teesworks Ltd have previously expressed opposition to the CCUS scheme, citing incompatibility with the data centre plan. This clash of priorities sets up a critical decision for Energy Secretary Ed Miliband, who is due to rule on the CCUS proposal by 28 August. The outcome could determine whether Teesworks becomes a national flagship for digital infrastructure or encounters prolonged planning conflict. Adding further complexity, Teesworks has come under scrutiny for its governance practices. A 2024 independent review raised questions about transparency and public value. This led to a best value notice issued in April 2025 and the creation of an improvement board to oversee development and accountability. With public-private collaboration at the core of the site’s ambition, confidence in management practices is crucial. For the building, design, and construction sector, the Teesworks data centre raises major questions about how future infrastructure projects balance innovation with environmental stewardship. As AI becomes more embedded in everyday systems—from smart cities to automated construction tools—the physical spaces that support this technology must align with broader sustainability goals. Constructing a site of this scale will demand integrated approaches across civil engineering, energy planning, facilities management, and digital systems architecture. Whether in HVAC systems tailored for server cooling, or sustainable power sourcing to mitigate emissions, design choices made now will influence long-term outcomes for both climate impact and operational resilience. If approved, the Teesworks campus could offer a blueprint for integrating hyperscale compute infrastructure into post-industrial landscapes. But it also highlights the increasing pressure on developers and public bodies to deliver technological progress without compromising environmental integrity or public trust.

Major Antarctic operations hub switches on to support UK polar science

The British Antarctic Survey’s (BAS) new scientific support and operations facility, the Discovery Building, is now coming into operational use at Rothera Research Station in Antarctica. Marking a major milestone for the Antarctic Infrastructure Modernisation Programme (AIMP), the facility consolidates the UK’s position in global polar research. Built to operate year-round in one of the planet’s most extreme environments, the Discovery Building serves as the beating heart of Rothera. It brings together advanced facilities and critical services all under one roof, and will support science focused on climate, biodiversity and the Southern Ocean, ensuring Rothera’s polar research capabilities for decades to come. Features of the new Discovery Building include: The achievement comes as the AIMP continues to make progress with the final phase of construction ahead of the building’s formal handover later this year. The Discovery Building is already generating its own power and water, also acts as an IT hub, and is now distributing these essential site-wide services to other buildings across Rothera. These upgrades will help contribute towards BAS’ aim to reduce Rothera’s carbon emissions by an estimated 25%. As a result, BAS teams can operate safely and efficiently from the Discovery Building over the upcoming Antarctic winter, where staff can spend up to 24 hours in darkness. A core team will remain on station throughout the winter to prepare the building for full handover during the 2025/2026 season. The new facility will also improve the quality of life for BAS staff based in Rothera. New, modern shared spaces, updated amenities, and smarter building systems will make daily routines, easier, more efficient and safer, supporting the productivity and camaraderie of the Rothera community that is essential to life in such a remote and isolated environment. Elen Jones, AIMP Programme Director, British Antarctic Survey, said: “This is a defining moment for the Antarctic Infrastructure Modernisation Programme. An operational Discovery Building marks the culmination of years of planning, collaboration, and innovation. This new facility is set to transform how we operate to enable science in the region and ensures BAS remains at the forefront of global efforts to understand and protect our changing planet.” Huw Jones, Executive Director at BAM, said: “Delivering a building of this stature in such a beautiful yet demanding environment is truly remarkable.

Mega Data Campus Set to Transform Lincolnshire into AI Infrastructure Powerhouse

Mega Data Campus Set to Transform Lincolnshire into AI Infrastructure Powerhouse

A bold new proposal for what would be the UK’s largest data centre development has emerged, with plans submitted for a £7.6 billion hyperscale AI campus in North Lincolnshire. Located at the former RAF Elsham Wolds airfield near Scunthorpe, the ambitious Elsham Tech Park project would span 176 hectares and deliver over 1.5 million square metres of data centre floorspace. The masterplan includes 15 high-capacity data halls, a major new energy centre, and supporting infrastructure designed to position Lincolnshire at the forefront of the UK’s digital and AI revolution. The development, led by Elsham Tech Park Ltd, seeks to support an IT load of 1,000MW—one of the highest targets ever proposed for a UK-based digital campus. It is designed to serve the exponential growth in demand for artificial intelligence processing, cloud computing, and high-volume data storage. Alongside the tech infrastructure, the campus is also being pitched as a green energy innovation hub. Plans include an on-site energy centre capable of generating up to 49.9MW, a large-scale battery storage compound, substations, a district heating facility, and flexible commercial space. A particularly novel element is the integration of heat reuse: surplus heat from server operations could be redirected to energy-intensive greenhouse agriculture, creating year-round food production opportunities and circular energy efficiencies. The proposed site would include new spine roads linking the 15 data zones, each capable of standalone delivery, offering flexibility in construction sequencing and operational rollout. Access would be via a primary route from the Flarepath industrial estate. Buildings are planned to range from 7 to 23 metres in height and would be visually softened by bunds up to 10 metres high and new woodland planting to help the project blend with the surrounding landscape. Construction is expected to span a 10-year period, creating between 2,600 and 3,600 full-time equivalent jobs annually across on-site and off-site activity. While the capital build cost is estimated at £7.6 billion, this figure excludes the high-value IT infrastructure that will be installed within the data halls. Breakdown of major cost areas includes: North Lincolnshire Council is actively seeking government recognition of the area as an AI Growth Zone—a designation that would fast-track planning, infrastructure delivery, and energy support. If successful, Elsham could soon become a key node in the UK’s digital infrastructure network. Should the scheme receive planning approval, the Elsham Tech Park would not only redefine Lincolnshire’s role in the digital economy but also mark a significant milestone in the UK’s race to build the next generation of AI-ready infrastructure.
