Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park (Quantum Campus)

under construction

The Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park (IQMP) is a $9 billion quantum computer and data campus being developed on the old U.S. Steel South Works site in Chicago. The project includes a quantum research park, a large-scale commercial data center on Parcel B by Related Digital, and a military research facility operated by DARPA. The site is contaminated land designated as part of a Superfund cluster, with ongoing remediation and construction activities. The project has raised community concerns about pollution, utility costs, gentrification, and surveillance.
