Google's The Dalles data centre in Oregon was the company's first purpose-built data centre facility, established in 2006, and has since grown to include multiple campus buildings in the region. The facility benefits from a skilled local workforce, business-friendly environment, and enhanced energy infrastructure, with Google having invested more than $7 billion in Oregon since first opening in The Dalles. The campus is part of Google's global data centre network, supporting the company's cloud infrastructure, search, and digital services worldwide.
