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
An 8,000 sq ft data center with Tier II redundancy, backup batteries and generator, inside the six-story, 74,000 sq ft, LEED Gold IT Center on the UH Mānoa campus. The building is hardened against Category III hurricane winds. UH offers colocation there at $3,700 per cabinet per year. Under a 2016 agreement, it also houses part of the State of Hawaiʻi's executive-branch IT systems moved from the aging Kalanimoku Building data center, with ETS reimbursing UH's costs. It hosts UH's Mana HPC cluster, which as of 2022 had 8,964 cores and 120 GPUs that the source calls critical for machine-learning and AI research; about $4.5M had been invested in the cluster since 2014. That cluster figure is not a facility investment, so no investment figure is recorded. The AI classification is mixed-use: AI/ML work on the GPU cluster is one named use alongside enterprise university and state systems. No MW figure was published. Coordinates are the Census geocode of 2520 Correa Rd.
