Amazon Web Services' Project Rainier in New Carlisle, Indiana spans 1,200 acres and up to 22 buildings, with an $11 billion Phase 1 already operational and a further $15 billion Phase 2 underway. A campus built out in phases across that many buildings represents a sustained, multi-year labor need rather than a single mobilization event.

Why phased campuses need a different staffing approach

Unlike a single-building project with one turnover date, a 22-building campus commissions in waves. The labor plan has to flex building by building, with crews cycling between construction final-clean and ongoing maintenance as different phases come online — while other phases are still under active construction nearby.

How LaborNOW's model applies here

  • Phased crew planning that scales with each building's own commissioning timeline, not a single fixed date for the whole campus.
  • Construction final-clean for buildings reaching turnover, alongside ongoing maintenance cleaning for buildings already operational — see our data center cleaning page.
  • Field supervision coordinating across multiple buildings and contractors on the same site — see our hyperscale data center staffing page.
