Quick Answer

Data center construction in central Mississippi spans roughly $275 to $1,100 per square foot depending on tier, density, and mechanical scope. Madison County, just outside Jackson, anchors Amazon Web Services' planned $25 billion Mississippi data center investment. TCG self-performs the insulated metal panel envelope that data halls depend on. This is a capability statement, not a claim of an AWS contract.

Jackson Data Centers

A Critical-Infrastructure Builder for Mississippi's Data Center Decade

Mississippi has become one of the most active data center markets in the country. Amazon Web Services has committed a planned $25 billion statewide, anchored by the Madison County campuses near Canton and Ridgeland, plus a Hinds County conversion of the former Delphi plant and a Warren County campus. More than 75 Mississippi companies are already engaged in that construction, and the supporting build-out, shells, support buildings, electrical and mechanical infrastructure, runs for years.

TCG builds in this space as a design-build general contractor and self-performs the discipline at the core of fast, repeatable data center delivery: the insulated metal panel envelope. With over 1,000,000 SF of IMP installed nationally, TCG handles the panelized envelope, support structures, and critical-infrastructure scopes that hyperscale and enterprise projects demand on tight schedules.

Scope

What TCG Builds

Powered Shells

Data center shells and powered shells built for speed and repeatability, with panelized envelopes and the structure to carry mechanical and electrical loads.

IMP Envelope

Insulated metal panel walls and roofs self-performed by TCG crews, the fast, weather-tight, thermally sound envelope data centers rely on.

Support & Admin Buildings

Administration, security, electrical, and support buildings that surround a campus, delivered on the same schedule as the core.

Critical Infrastructure

Coordination of the structural, mechanical, and electrical scopes that critical-infrastructure facilities require, under a single design-build contract.

Mississippi Market

$25 Billion Is Building in Mississippi, Much of It Next Door

Amazon Web Services has committed a planned $25 billion to data centers in Mississippi, with the flagship Madison County campuses near Canton and Ridgeland, the single largest capital investment in state history, plus projects in Hinds and Warren counties. The first campuses target completion in 2027.

TCG builds data center shells and critical infrastructure, and self-performs the insulated metal panel envelope these buildings depend on. That is a capability statement, not a claim of an AWS contract, but it is the exact scope, panelized envelope on a fast schedule, that the Mississippi data center surge is buying by the acre.

Local Knowledge

Building Data Centers in Central Mississippi

Canton and the Madison County corridor sit minutes from Jackson, and the data center build-out there has pulled in more than 75 Mississippi construction firms. TCG knows the corridor, the permitting path through Madison County and the City of Jackson, and the logistics advantages of the I-55 and I-20 crossroads.

Mississippi construction runs among the lowest cost in the country, roughly 0.80 to 0.90x national, with aggressive state incentives, the same tools that landed AWS, and a competitive subcontractor base with growing data center experience.

Recent TCG Project · Completed Fall 2026

300,000 SF Data Center Support Campus, North of Dallas

TCG erected and insulated three 100,000 SF pre-engineered metal buildings for the staging and storage campus of a new data center north of Dallas, Texas. Building 1 went from start of steel erection to sign-off in 41 days, and the full campus finished 30 days ahead of schedule.

41 DaysBldg 1, steel to sign-off

30 DaysAhead of schedule

Pre-engineered metal building steel erection on a 300,000 SF data center support campus north of Dallas, Texas, by Terrapin Construction Group — Steel erection

Wall panel installation from a boom lift on a 100,000 SF data center support building north of Dallas — Wall cladding

Night shift roof crew under light towers on a data center staging building north of Dallas — Night shift roofing

Interior clear span rigid frames inside a 100,000 SF data center support building — Clear span interior

Enclosed data center support building under light towers at night north of Dallas — Enclosed and dried in

On a data center campus the support buildings come first: staging, equipment storage, and laydown have to be dried in before long-lead electrical and mechanical gear arrives for the data hall. Crews ran early morning and night shifts under light towers, with roof panels, wall cladding, and insulation moving in parallel instead of in sequence.

TCG brings the same schedule-first crews and PEMB and IMP self-perform capability to data center projects in Jackson.

Scope: PEMB steel erection, roof and wall panels, and insulation
Use: staging and equipment storage for a new data center campus
Schedule: parallel crews on extended shifts
Result: 300,000 SF delivered 30 days early

FAQ

Data Centers Questions, Jackson

What recent data center work has TCG completed?

TCG most recently erected and insulated a 300,000 SF data center support campus north of Dallas, Texas: three 100,000 SF pre-engineered metal buildings for a new data center’s staging and storage campus. Building 1 went from start of steel erection to sign-off in 41 days, and the full campus finished 30 days ahead of schedule in fall 2026. TCG brings the same crews and self-perform capability to data center projects in Jackson.

Does TCG build data centers in Mississippi?

TCG builds data center shells, powered shells, and supporting critical infrastructure as a design-build general contractor, and self-performs the insulated metal panel envelope these buildings rely on. TCG's edge is the panelized envelope and critical-infrastructure scopes that hyperscale and enterprise projects demand on tight schedules.

How big is the Mississippi data center market?

Amazon Web Services has committed a planned $25 billion to Mississippi data centers, anchored by the Madison County campuses near Canton, the single largest capital investment in state history, plus projects in Hinds and Warren counties. More than 75 Mississippi companies are engaged in that construction.

How much does data center construction cost in Mississippi?

Budgetary ranges run about $180 to $420/SF for a powered shell, $700 to $1,400/SF for turnkey and fit-out, and $160 to $360/SF for support and admin buildings. Costs vary widely by tier and power density, and hyperscale projects are best budgeted on a dollars-per-megawatt basis. Use the AI estimator for a calibrated starting point.

What is TCG's role on data center projects?

TCG works as a design-build general contractor on shells, support buildings, and critical infrastructure, and self-performs the insulated metal panel envelope, with over 1,000,000 SF of IMP installed nationally. The integrated model keeps structure, envelope, and MEP coordination aligned on a fast schedule.

Why is Madison County a data center hub?

Madison County, just outside Jackson, landed the largest capital investment in Mississippi history with the AWS campuses near Canton and Ridgeland. Power availability, state incentives, water strategy, and the I-55 corridor made it a national data center destination.

How much does it cost to build a data center in Mississippi?

Data center construction runs roughly $275 to $1,100/SF depending on tier, power density, redundancy, and cooling approach. Mississippi's low cost basis and aggressive incentives, the same tools that landed the AWS campuses, make it a competitive market. Run the AI estimator for a calibrated number.

Does TCG build data centers in the Madison County corridor?

TCG builds data center and critical-infrastructure projects nationally and self-performs the insulated metal panel envelope that data halls depend on for thermal performance. The Madison County AWS investment is cited here as market context. This is a capability statement, not a claim of a specific hyperscale contract.

Why does the building envelope matter for a data center?

Data halls run tight temperature and humidity bands and high heat loads. A sealed, thermally sound insulated metal panel envelope reduces cooling load and protects equipment. TCG self-performs IMP installation, so this scope is controlled directly.
