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
- Proposed
Project announced by U-M and Los Alamos National Laboratory; $100 million state grant approved.
Underlying source - Proposed
U-M affirmed the Textile Road site on 2026-08-11 after selecting it as the preferred location; land had been purchased in 2025.
Underlying source
Source notes
144-acre site on Textile Road near Bridge Road in Ypsilanti Charter Township, far eastern Washtenaw County, near the Huron River. LANL's own announcement states the site will house two computing centers — one for Los Alamos national-security AI research and development and an adjacent academic computing center for U-M faculty, students and partner universities. They are recorded here as a single campus record because both sources describe one adjacent pair on one site. Confirmed absences: neither source states a megawatt capacity ('capacity figures: none disclosed' per LANL), a water or cooling design, or job counts — those fields are omitted rather than estimated. LANL states the funding mix was not finalised at announcement; the $1.2B total and the $100M state grant are Bridge Michigan's figures. The AI classification is confirmed — both sources describe the facility's explicit purpose as AI research. Coordinates are the US Census geocoder's match for the Textile Rd / Bridge Rd intersection named in the sources; the 144-acre parcel boundary is not confirmed.
