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.

Source notes
UH is renovating the Cancer Center's existing garage-sized, air-conditioned, ground-floor data center room in Kakaʻako into the Medical AI Core (MedAI Core), which will provide high-performance computing for the new Pacific Center for Artificial Intelligence and Data Science in Medicine (PAC-AID). PAC-AID is funded by a $12M, five-year NIH COBRE grant, awarded 2026-06-04 and running through February 2031. About $300,000 of that money is going to renovate and equip the room. The Star-Advertiser (via GovTech) calls it a first-of-its-kind AI data center for Hawaiʻi. This is a single room in an existing building, not a campus. No MW, GPU count or cooling method was published. The investment figure covers only the ~$300K room renovation, not the $12M research grant. Coordinates are the OSM feature for the UH Cancer Center building at 701 Ilalo St, the address the Cancer Center publishes.
