About Bell AI Fabric TRU 2

Bell AI Fabric TRU 2 is the second planned Thompson Rivers University campus data center in Kamloops, British Columbia, expanding Bell Canada’s national AI Fabric platform with sovereign AI infrastructure for training, inference, high-performance compute, and Canadian-hosted enterprise AI workloads. The facility is part of Bell’s British Columbia AI data center supercluster and follows the first TRU campus facility at 1452 McGill Road. TRU 2 is planned as a 26 MW AI data center on the Thompson Rivers University campus, adding a second university-linked Kamloops node for advanced research, public-sector AI adoption, enterprise AI infrastructure, and experiential learning. Bell AI Fabric combines secure data centers, high-performance compute, networking, managed services, and Bell’s Canadian fiber backbone into a domestic AI platform for organizations that need Canadian data residency and sovereign infrastructure.

The TRU 2 facility is positioned for production AI training and inference workloads inside Bell AI Fabric’s full-stack service model. Bell’s AI Fabric platform supports GPUs, large language models, inferencing, data center services, security, networking, and managed AI adoption services. The second TRU facility extends the campus deployment beyond the first 26 MW project and increases Kamloops’ role as a regional AI infrastructure hub. Public coverage identifies the TRU facilities as two separate 26 MW AI data centers, with the first TRU facility followed by a second TRU facility the next year. The second site remains in the planning stage, with the precise campus parcel and construction details still pending public confirmation.

TRU 2 strengthens the Bell AI Fabric network across Kamloops, Merritt, Thompson Rivers University, British Columbia, BCNET, Bell’s national fiber network, and Canada’s hydro-powered AI infrastructure market. Bell’s British Columbia rollout begins with Kamloops and Merritt facilities and scales into a larger network designed around clean hydroelectric power, sovereign compute, and high-density AI workloads. TRU 2 adds capacity to a university environment where AI infrastructure can support students, researchers, public-sector organizations, and enterprise users. The project complements the first TRU data center’s heat-recovery and district-energy context while giving Bell AI Fabric a deeper campus footprint in Interior British Columbia.
