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

Source notes

The Alligator reports that HiPerGator is housed in the UF Data Center on East Campus. Whiting-Turner describes 10,000 sq ft of computing space, split between a Tier 3 data center and 5,000 sq ft of data center research space, plus 4,400 sq ft of standby administrative space. The building has 2.5 MW of generator capacity and an on-site central utility plant. UF's Board of Trustees approved a $24M HiPerGator upgrade in December 2024; the system costs about $6M a year to operate. That $24M is a hardware upgrade, not facility investment. Classed as mixed-use because the building also hosts general enterprise and research computing alongside the NVIDIA AI supercomputer. The building's exact street address is not confirmed, so coordinates are the East Campus centroid and approximate.
