Source-reported capacity; not metered consumption. Review underlying documents and notes. Planned capacity may include future phases and is not added to operational capacity here. The source may use facility, grid-feed or IT capacity definitions; consult the linked documents.

Coordinate precision is a source label, not an independent parcel survey. A marker does not confirm utility territory or establish an effect on residential bills.

Reported lifecycle history

No dated operational history is established in this record. Publication, discovery and source-update dates are not opening dates.

Source notes

High-performance computing data center on INL's Research and Education Campus (REC) in Idaho Falls -- distinct from INL's much larger remote desert 'Site' reservation (see the separate Aalo Atomics record). Houses DOE/INL supercomputers including Sawtooth, Hoodoo, and Bitterroot, supporting nuclear-energy modeling/simulation, materials science, and data science research; remote access is provided to Idaho university researchers via the Idaho Regional Optical Network. Built alongside the adjacent Cybercore Integration Center (80,979 sq ft) as part of a combined ~148,000 sq ft project; C3 itself is variously reported as 66,520 sq ft (general contractor JE Dunn) and 73,000 sq ft (engineering subconsultant AEI), and its power capacity is similarly inconsistent between sources -- JE Dunn describes an '8MW High Performance Computing (HPC) Data Center with 2MW of redundancy' and a 'Day 1 installation of 4MW capacity,' while AEI's page states '1.5 MW total power'. The operational capacity recorded is JE Dunn's Day 1 installation of 4MW; as of October 2026, neither cited source reconciles it with AEI's 1.5 MW figure. Completed circa 2022 per JE Dunn's project metadata. No exact street address was given in either source.
