Canadian data center firm QScale has started work on a new building at its campus in Québec City.

The company this week announced construction had started on the second building at its Q01 campus in Lévis.

Q01‑Building‑B – QScale

The new building (Q01‑Building‑B) will add 60MW of capacity. The company is investing CA$700 million (US$503 million) in the project, and the facility will reportedly be able to support densities up to 600kW.

“Starting construction of Q01‑Building‑B is an important milestone for QScale and for Québec. The world needs vastly more compute, and it needs that compute to be clean, dense, efficient, and resilient. This expansion lets us meet that demand on Canadian soil while creating high-quality jobs and reusing energy for the benefit of our community,” said Martin Bouchard, co-founder and CEO, QScale.
