Mass-timber built structures are being constructed at a breakneck pace around the world, in metro area and converted rural locations, from residential buildings to office complexes and in greater numbers to data centers and big tech office spaces. Vittorio Salvadori, director of design at TimberBLDR, reflected on the recent International Mass Timber Conference in Portland, said that “About 10% of mass timber sold in 2025 went to data center–related projects. Amazon and Meta alone are leading this shift. …Meta, for instance, is utilizing mass timber in its new data centers in an effort to achieve net zero emissions across its value chain in 2030. …Most data centers today are constructed of concrete, structural steel and other pre-engineered metal. …In 2024, Microsoft constructed two data centers in Northern Virginia using a hybrid structure of CLT, steel, and concrete to reduce carbon emissions. …A recently opened Amazon delivery center in Indiana makes heavy use of mass timber.
