No permit record shows it yet, so this page prints it as announced. Compute Atlas (Sep 15, 2026) reports it as under construction. The sources disagree: Server Country reports proposed. ### Who is building Justified Data Campus? TeraWulf is the operator; the tenants reported are Anthropic. No public record names the general contractor yet. It shows here the day one does. ### When is Justified Data Campus expected to finish? Server Country reports expected completion in 2028. That is a reported target, not a schedule. ### Which carriers serve Justified Data Campus? No public record names them yet. They show here when a filing does. ### How do contractors on Justified Data Campus get paid sooner? The owner pays the general contractor, and the general contractor pays its subcontractors. Once your customer approves your invoice, certify it with Kapwork. Funders compete to fund it, so you don't wait for the payment date. Free for businesses. Kapwork doesn't lend and doesn't contact your customer. ## Latest updates - [Expected completion reported](https://servercountry.org/data/projects/).
