Patmos has announced the expansion of its Kansas City AI data center campus, bringing 10 MW of new colocation space online for high-density Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), High-Performance Computing (HPC), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) infrastructure. The facility, known locally as “The Star,” now offers a total of 35 MW capacity and is available immediately for large-scale colocation deployments.
The Kansas City site is Patmos’s first AI campus project, purpose-built for AI, HPC, and GPU workloads. Patmos reports it is repurposing the former KC Star printing press building to accommodate data centers, conference areas, co-working spaces, and event facilities. Patmos began operating the location in November 2024 and has converted the 360,000 square-foot structure into an advanced data center environment.
Patmos claims it can deliver rack-ready colocation in 2.5 MW increments, with white space built to client specifications in as little as 90 days. The facility is engineered for high-density deployments, supporting more than 100 kW per rack. According to Patmos, this enables rapid commissioning of power, cooling, and rack space for next-generation AI applications.
Joe Morgan, Patmos Chief Operating Officer, said, “The demand for AI infrastructure far outstrips the available supply, and Kansas City – like many major cities in the Midwest – is ideally placed to meet this demand in the U.S., with the skilled workers, the connectivity and the appetite from municipal authorities to make it happen.”
Morgan added, “Building AI-ready datacenters from scratch is a complex and time-consuming process, and going to hyperscalers for new infrastructure can take years. By retro-fitting datacenters out of facilities like the Star building, the Patmos AI Campus approach can deliver the capacity needed in months, not years, and with 10 MW of new capacity available now we’re excited to welcome new tenants to the facility.”
Patmos reports that the campus will also provide office and meeting space for start-ups, established enterprises, and host community and industry events. More details are available on the company’s website.
