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

A 307,749 sq ft secured supercomputing facility (Nicholas C. Metropolis Center) built around 1999-2001 for $131 million. Computer-floor power was expanded to 24 MW, with the ability to add 10 MW more, per the MEP engineer. It has housed Q, Roadrunner, Trinity, Crossroads and Venado. Venado (2,560 liquid-cooled Nvidia Grace Hopper superchips) was announced at 10 exaflops of peak AI performance, a figure LANL has not confirmed, which supports the mixed-use classification. Coordinates are an approximate point at LANL Technical Area 3, not a confirmed building pin.
