IU to build cyber infrastructure facility

Indiana University announced today that they have approved design plans for a $55 million Cyber Infrastructure Facility, to be built on the Bloomington campus.

A $30 million facility will house the university's supercomputer. Officials say it will offer a location that can protect the supercomputer from natural disasters, such as tornadoes or earthquakes. In addition, a 117,800-square foot building would house offices and classrooms for information technology employees, as well as computers and other related equipment. IU officials say they hope to begin construction this summer. Once construction begins, it would take about two years to complete the project.
