Polarise: AI Hub ONE
About AI Hub ONE
AI Hub ONE is an AI focused data center facility under development by Polarise, positioned “directly at Gardermoen Airport in Oslo Airport City (OAC).”
Polarise publishes a dedicated AI Hub ONE facility page with high level specifications including 3,800 m² space, 8+8 MW power, and 300+ kW per rack cooling, alongside sustainability claims such as a 2.4 MWp rooftop solar installation and heat reuse via district heating for the nearby airport.
The URL you provided (polardc.com) is the website for Polar DC, which is a different entity from Polarise; Polar DC’s published locations focus on DRA and other Polar DC sites, and do not list AI Hub ONE.
