Developers constructing large AI data centers in the U.S. are increasingly relying on temporary housing villages, often referred to as 'man camps,' to accommodate the hundreds or even thousands of workers needed for these projects. Originally used to house men working in remote oil fields, these camps are now being repurposed for data center labor. One example is a former Bitcoin mining facility in rural Dickens County, Texas, which is being converted into a 1.6-gigawatt data center. Workers there are staying in gray modular units with amenities including a gym, laundromat, game rooms, and an on-demand cafeteria. Target Hospitality, the company managing the camp, has secured contracts totaling $132 million and anticipates eventually housing over 1,000 workers. The company’s chief commercial officer, Troy Schrenk, described the U.S. data center construction surge as “the largest, most actionable pipeline” the company has ever encountered. Notably, Target Hospitality also owns the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Texas, which has faced lawsuits over poor living conditions for detained families, including reports of moldy food and inadequate accommodations for children’s dietary needs. The expansion into AI worker camps raises questions about labor conditions while highlighting the rapid growth of the U.S. AI infrastructure sector.
