Proposed hyperscale campus
The Hyper HubBrownsville,
Texas
2,000,000 SQ FT / CIRCULAR DATA CENTER CONCEPT
Infrastructure for advanced AI.
Designed to accommodate future quantum computing.
Presented by Sigfrido Rodriguez & Jaime Dickinson
September 14, 2026
Concept proposal for City discussion.
Subject to site selection, engineering, financing and approvals.
A 500-acre campus concept
Illustrative master plan. 2 million sq ft is the proposed building area. Land, layout and infrastructure capacities require confirmation.
Proposed infrastructure
Power and connectivity that grow with demand
4 packages
LM6000-class aeroderivative generation or similar20-acre power campus concept
150 MW150 MWh storage
Battery energy storage planning targetNominal one hour at 150 MW, before losses and reserves
20 acres
Solar generation fieldSupplemental energy for the campus
Phased delivery
- Utility service and natural gas capacity studies before final sizing
- Substation, switchgear and backup power designed around each occupied phase
- Diverse fiber routes with satellite or microwave backup options
- Mission-critical operations with redundancy and maintainability targets
Equipment quantities are planning concepts. Net output, firm capacity and utility delivery dates depend on engineering, fuel supply and provider commitments.
Responsible site design
Water efficiency and South Texas site planning
01 / COOLING
Closed-loop cooling and water reuse
Recirculate cooling water and evaluate reclaim options to reduce freshwater demand.
02 / SUPPLEMENTAL SUPPLY
Atmospheric water generation
Reserve a dedicated area for modular systems, with output and energy use verified for local conditions.
03 / DRAINAGE
Stormwater management
Use parcel-specific flood, drainage and geotechnical studies to set elevations and detention needs.
04 / LANDSCAPE
South Texas native landscaping
Plan low-water planting, landscape buffers and space for safe maintenance access.
The feasibility phase will establish a water balance, heat-rejection design and measurable operating targets.
Computing infrastructure
AI capacity with room for future quantum systems
Hyperscale AI
- High-density compute halls for GPU clusters and advanced workloads
- Liquid-cooling infrastructure and floor loading matched to tenant equipment
- Modular data halls that open as contracted demand and power become available
Quantum-ready design
- Dedicated suites with vendor-specific space, service access and environmental controls
- Provision for cryogenic equipment where required, plus vibration and electromagnetic controls
- Fiber connectivity for integration with classical computing and research networks
Quantum readiness is a proposed design provision. Hardware, operating requirements and performance depend on the selected technology partner.
Proposed protection strategy
Resilience built into critical systems
SEVERE WEATHER
Hardened envelope
- Hurricane design criteria based on site hazards and engineering
- Windowless critical areas and protected utility equipment
- Flood-aware elevations, drainage and emergency access
ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE
EMP resilience
- Evaluate shielded critical rooms and essential controls
- Protected cable entries, power filtering and surge suppression
- Protected spares and tested continuity and recovery procedures
DRONE AND SITE SECURITY
Detection and response
- Lawful drone detection, alerts and agency coordination
- Physical protection for vital outdoor systems
- 24/7 guarded access, intrusion sensors and secured receiving
Protection levels require threat assessment, engineering and testing. Active drone intervention requires applicable legal authority. No design guarantees protection from every event.
Potential community benefits
A long-term technology investment in Brownsville
An opportunity to connect local talent with advanced computing infrastructure.
- Construction and local procurementPotential work for regional contractors, trades and service providers.
- Skilled long-term employmentTechnical operations, electrical and mechanical maintenance, network services and security.
- Workforce and research collaborationExplore training with UTRGV, Texas Southmost College and other regional institutions.
- Private investment and tax baseQuantify potential fiscal benefits alongside infrastructure costs and community impacts.
Employment, capital investment and fiscal impact estimates will follow the phased feasibility plan. Institutional collaborations remain proposed.
Next steps with the City
A coordinated path to project feasibility
- Identify suitable land and confirm the planning and zoning path.
- Coordinate power, natural gas, fiber and water feasibility with the relevant providers.
- Define the permitting pathway, including stormwater, air quality, noise and public safety.
- Return with a phased plan for capital, jobs, tenant demand and delivery milestones.
Our request today
Designate a City project liaison and coordinate an initial site and utilities working session.
