A modern (yr. 2025) supercomputer cabinet will be very dense, probably weighing between 8,000 to 10,000 pounds each. Not sure how many cabinets in total there will be, probably between 50 and 100? Then there is liquid cooling, which also adds a lot of weight. Yeah, the building to house a supercomputer like that is a big part of the cost, but it should function for many generations of supercomputers. It may draw as much power as the rest of campus as well once it is fully brought up. Trying to think what the other big users of electricity on campus might be... Actually, probably way overshot the number of cabinets. Just crazy the amount of compute they put into them today. Probably closer to 10 cabinets, though I don't believe they've announced anything yet, just speculation.

It's going to be a huge building, probably the biggest academic construction project ever. The Jen-Hsun Huang and Lori Mills Huang Collaborative Innovation Complex is slated to clock in at 150,000 square feet. By comparison, the Learning Innovation Center is 134,000ft 2 and the International Living-Learning Center is 148,000ft 2. Then again, Kelley Engineering Center is 153,000ft 2, which is small compared to the 186,000ft 2 Agricultural Life Sciences Building, which itself is small compared to the 263,000ft 2 Cordley Hall to which it is connected. ( Would ALS and Cordley, through its connecting bridge, constitute a 449,000ft2 science complex...?) The MU clocks in as the biggest non-athletics facility on campus at 303,513ft 2 - though the MU is not an "academic" building. Regardless - it's gonna be a big building. But, respectfully, not "biggest academic construction project ever" at Oregon State University, unless its potential impact on research, teaching, and learning matches all we've been hearing about what it can be. In that case, its impact will exponentially transcend its size.

I wondered if it was as big as Strand.
The buildings you mentioned have more square footage because they have more stories, but they don't look as if they have the same footprint. Which is what I meant by biggest, I guess.
Either way, big project.

And, as I suggested in my earlier post about size: it's the size of the impact that will matter more than the square footage. To wit: Strand...

They are dismantling the steel frame of the temporary batter's eye at Goss Stadium. The back wall of the new building will be the new batter's eye.

Now they have stopped taking down the batter's eye and adding panels to it. I thought it would be removed and some sort of party area overlooking the field would go on the roof of the batting facility. That looks to be impossible at this point. webcam.oregonstate.edu/baseball

webcam.oregonstate.edu/udhThis building is close to being ready for occupancy this fall. Sidewalks, signage and bike racks are in place.

In my day, we didn’t need no stinking batters eye. There was a bunch of people in white tees in CF and you had to find the ball and hit it. Wimps now days.
