Status context. The current original research computing documentation describes HiPerGator user jobs and storage service, and the current original University feature explicitly locates the computing cluster at East Campus and describes actual student use. Reported computing service applies to that named institutional system. The October 2025 original unveiling account is separate from the earlier May deployment forecast. The passed September 2026 storage migration target is not treated as universal migration completion. No benchmark, student count, current storage total, building quantity or exact campus first opening day is promoted.
Calculated official source street reference, not a surveyed roof or parcel. The original university ITB22WB118A November 12, 2021 specifications identify the data center battery backup service location at UF East Campus, 2060 N.E. Waldo Road, Gainesville, Fl. 32609. One complete literal Census street range supplies only a historical service street reference in Alachua County. Procurement submission address 971 Elmore Drive is excluded. Existing Native group operating remains unchanged. Imagery acquisition date is unknown and may predate construction.
Dated record.
- announced
- The University published its HiPerGator generation unveiling account October 14, 2025 at East Campus. This is the original publication and named system account, not first opening of the whole data center or proof that every later storage migration was completed.
