We're proud to share that Cambois Primary School has unveiled a brand new sensory garden, transforming its outdoor space into an interactive, multi-sensory environment that supports learning through play for every child. The project was made possible through QTS funding and the dedication of incredible local partners including Raintons Construction, Arcadis, Cundall, Lynx Precast, D A Johnstone, Ridge and Colpits who together contributed over 700 hours of time to design, landscape and build the space. QTSers also rolled up their sleeves to plant shrubs and greenery, making the garden truly their own. This is what community investment looks like in action, and we're just getting started.

Same size. Not the same water use. A QTS closed-loop data center uses about 600,000 gallons of water annually, less than farms, golf courses, theaters or five homes. Designed to be different.

Responsible growth starts with our commitment to communities. In 2025, QTS gave back in a big way, totaling 22,000+ volunteer hours, $9.7M+ in charitable contributions and countless partnerships with global organizations aligned with our core values.
Recently, we had the opportunity to host the Apprenticeship Careers Day in Northumberland, bringing together some of the region's biggest employers - including Northumberland Police, the Port of Blyth, Newcastle Red Bulls, Cundall, Axis and Wates - to show local young people potential career pathways ahead. Students had the chance to explore apprenticeship opportunities across construction, engineering, logistics, emergency services and sport, hearing directly from employers and asking questions about how to take their first steps into these industries. As we develop one of the UK's largest data centre campuses at Cambois, investing in the next generation here in Northumberland is central to our mission - including creating 150 apprenticeships for local young people. A huge thank you to every employer, educator and student who made the day such a success.
QTS connects the world with purpose, not just through our innovative data centers, but through our commitment to the communities we call home. In line with our core values, we engage in a wide range of volunteer opportunities and community partnerships to help others in need.
Data centers don’t run themselves. Behind the scenes, our facility operations team works around the clock to keep everything operating 24/7/365. Hear directly from the people at the center of our operations as they share why they love the work and their advice for anyone interested in joining the industry.
What makes QTS Data Centers different? Beyond building and operating data centers, we're dedicated to uplifting communities through job creation, community engagement and sustainable practices. This means we aim to meet the specialized needs of each community through partnership.
