Shumate Engineering is expanding its design portfolio with 16 new hyperscale AI data centers totaling approximately 5.7 gigawatts, located in Texas, Missouri, and Arizona. These facilities are expected to be completed by mid-2026, contributing to enhanced AI access in the U.S.

The firm, based in Virginia, is entering its sixth year and is hiring additional engineers to support its national growth. Last year, Shumate was granted a patent for a hybrid-dry/adiabatic-cooling design that can reduce power consumption by 50% and water use by 93% compared to conventional systems. This growth aligns with the increasing demand in the data center industry.
