Modular Data Center

The MDC is a state-of-the-art facility for high performance computation.

Its innovative design promotes sustainable computing and expands the university's capabilities for computationally rich research.

Reduces power usage by using ambient air for cooling
Houses high-performance computing equipment in a compact space (two 40-foot containers)
Increases researchers' options for computation needs

The Modular Data Center project was made possible through the joint efforts of Information and Technology Services, the Office of Research Cyberinfrastructure, and Architecture, Engineering and Construction. Capital funding was provided by the Provost's Office.
