Project Spotlights
The City of Irvine is adding a third 50-meter competition pool, covered bleachers, a splash pad and a NinjaCross obstacle course at the William Woollett Jr. Aquatics Center — while hosting the 2026 Pan Pacific Swimming Championships on the same site this week. Seven low voltage systems, an estimated $2.2M-$2.5M in LV work, and a code article most commercial contractors have never opened.

AI & Data Centers
Beacon Indus is a planned four-hall Alberta AI campus with 1,200 MW of proposed supply, an August 18 AUC hearing, named design and power partners, and major fibre, security, controls, fire, and commissioning packages still unresolved.

Project Spotlights
Serverfarm is building a four-building, 135-acre AI data center campus in Clarksville, Arkansas for an unnamed Fortune 10 hyperscaler. Nabholz has bid packages out at 60 percent drawings for Buildings 1 through 3 right now. Eleven low voltage systems, an estimated $144M to $264M in LV work campus-wide, and a town of 9,000 people that has to build it.
AI & Data Centers
WestDulles' Iron Horse campus has an approved Ashland portion and a pending 77.62-acre Hanover request, with explicit fiber, security, substation, utility, backup-power, and controls signals ahead of an August 20 hearing.

Project Spotlights
Raleigh's $308 million Omni Hotel and Convention Center is 29 stories with 600 guest rooms, a 20,000 square foot ballroom, and 61,000 square feet of meeting space — which makes it two low voltage projects in one building. The guest tower prices per key; the function space prices like assembly. Eight systems, an estimated $21.2 million in LV work, Brasfield & Gorrie building it, opening late 2028.

AI & Data Centers
Serverfarm's $6.6 billion Clarksville campus is under construction with Nabholz leading the build, first-building packages in motion, and major fiber, security, fire, controls, utility, and commissioning lanes still requiring award checks.

Project Spotlights
Detroit PBS is converting a century-old former General Motors engineering building in Milwaukee Junction into a television and radio campus — seven video production locations up from two, a 300-seat theater-style studio, and a performance space that works indoors and outdoors. Five low voltage systems and an estimated $1.4 million in LV work, on a job where SMPTE ST 2110, PTP timing, and technical grounding matter more than conference room AV experience.

AI & Data Centers
Edged US's three-building Project Atlas returns to South Whitehall review August 13 with about 1.48 million square feet, a reported 725 MW plan, a tentative four-year buildout, and major fiber, security, controls, fire, substation, and commissioning lanes still unawarded.

Project Spotlights
DC BLOX's approved Thunderbird campus in Indianapolis carries a $2 billion headline — but the plan of operation splits it explicitly: $600-700 million of land, site, and building, and $1.2-1.3 billion of tenant servers and networking hardware. Two thirds of the number is computers nobody bids. Eleven low voltage systems and an estimated $45 million in LV work, on a two-building campus that was downsized from three after community opposition.

AWS is building a 438,500-square-foot Gilroy data-center campus with Skanska, a dedicated 98 MW PG&E connection, active permit work, and a December 2026 Phase I target.

Industry News
Omaha, Nebraska is now live on LVN Signal. Low voltage contractors in the Omaha metro now have real-time construction intelligence covering 559 active projects, built on grading and sitework permits that surface work 6-18 months before a building permit ever posts.
Aug 10, 2026
Project Spotlights
Mesa, Arizona is building a $53.9 million public safety communications facility with Willmeng Construction as general contractor — five low voltage systems and an estimated $6.2 million in LV work. The differentiator is not size, it is qualification: radio and dispatch facilities are grounded to Motorola R56 rather than the NEC alone, and the P25 radio system is usually procured separately by the agency, so knowing where your scope ends is half the bid.

AI & Data Centers
Western Oregon University is bidding a 17,000-to-30,000-square-foot Computer Solutions Hub with a 0.25 MW tier 3 data hall, new campus fiber core, security, controls, AV, and commissioning scope.
Aug 10, 2026
Project Spotlights
Jacksonville's $11.5 million Florida Theatre renovation lists stage lighting, sound, digital projection, and assistive listening as its lead scope items — meaning the low voltage is not a supporting trade, it is the project. An estimated $2.9 million in LV and AV work inside a 1927 building with restored decorative plaster, funded 50/50 by the city and the theatre's nonprofit, and aimed at a centennial in 2027 that will not move.

Prime ORD01-01 is a 72 MW, 384,000-square-foot CoreWeave facility with three of six halls operating, Clune leading construction, and ComEd's onsite substation still shaping final delivery.

Project Spotlights
Google has broken ground on Project Pyramid, its first Arkansas data center — five buildings on 1,178 acres off Bollinger Road in West Memphis, backed by a $4 billion commitment through 2027 and up to $10 billion more if conditions align. Ten low voltage systems and an estimated $160 million in LV work, with no GC, electrical prime, or specialty package holder named. The site sits fifteen minutes from Memphis, where LVN covered St. Jude's $810M research tower two weeks ago.

AI & Data Centers
Microsoft's MNZ07 Wellington project now has a two-building environmental permit scope, an onsite substation, direct fiber-conduit evidence, and a county final-site-plan case while contractor packages remain undisclosed.

Project Spotlights
Micron's ID1 memory fab in Boise carries a $707 million superstructure permit for a 151-foot, H-5 classified fabrication building — and it anchors a $2.89 billion permitted program Signal tracks across 33 permits. The cleanroom already hit blowdown, which changes how every trade works inside it. Five low voltage systems, an estimated $100 million in LV work, union-built under a PLA with IBEW Local 291 dispatching.

AI & Data Centers
DataOne's Vineland AI Factory has two data-center phases under construction, more than 500 workers onsite, and named power and gas partners while specialty low-voltage packages remain unresolved.
