Lévis datacentre project updates
Microsoft began construction of the first phase of the Lévis datacentre in April 2024. The datacentre construction site is located in the Charny neighborhood of Lévis, Quebec, Canada.
Why datacentres are needed
Datacentres provide the physical infrastructure for the technology we depend on at work and in our personal lives. Whenever you open an app on your phone, join a virtual classroom or meeting, snap and save photos, or play a game with your friends online, you are using a datacentre. Local businesses, government, hospitals, and schools rely on datacentres every day to deliver goods and services to you.
Construction update
November 2024
By mid-November, teams began erecting the steel structure on the Lévis site. These operations will take several months to complete.

Rock excavation is slated to conclude at the end of August. Neighbors will be informed should the schedule change.
April, 2024
On May 13 we will begin rock excavation using a blasting technique. For more information on blasting, please contact Hardroc Blasting, Inc., by phone at: 418-834-4113 or via Fax: 418-834-0866.
March, 2024
Datacentre construction will begin on April 15, 2024, and we are currently preparing the site for construction, demolishing existing structures, grading, and soil remediation.
We will keep neighbors informed in advance of construction work.
