Description

Description

A proposed $1.25 billion research computing center to be developed in partnership between the University of Michigan and Los Alamos National Laboratory. The center aims to advance scientific discovery in areas such as cancer treatment, drug development, climate science, energy resilience, artificial intelligence, and national security. It is not a commercial data center and would use one-tenth the energy of a typical data center. The project is in active due diligence with no final site selected yet, but a parcel along Textile Road near Hydro Park in Ypsilanti Township is under consideration.
