Atmosphere Data Centers, founded in 2020 by CEO Chuck McBride, develops and operates a platform of AI-optimized, power-resilient data center infrastructure in high-growth U.S. markets. The company focuses on converting historically pollutive sites into energy-efficient data centers, supporting the critical digital needs of hyperscalers, enterprises, and service providers.
Atmosphere's core offerings include modular, scalable data center campuses engineered for Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and cloud computing workloads. A key feature is its use of advanced liquid cooling technology, including direct-to-chip solutions, which significantly reduces energy consumption and achieves an ultra-low Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) range of 1.08-1.10. This approach is up to 50% more energy-efficient than traditional data centers and eliminates the need for water and refrigerants in the cooling process.
The company provides flexible deployment models to clients, including build-to-suit, powered shell, turnkey delivery, and full campus solutions, allowing for customized levels of control and scalability. Its strategic site selection provides clients with significant power capacity, often ranging from 300MW to 1,000MW, and direct, low-latency fiber connectivity to major data center hubs like Ashburn, VA. In August 2025, Atmosphere secured a significant strategic growth investment from AGC Equity Partners to accelerate its national expansion, including site acquisitions and construction to meet the high demand for AI-ready infrastructure.
