Data center expansion advanced conceptual design
In FY2008, NSF granted approval to proceed with the initial design phase of the NCAR Supercomputing Center to be located near Cheyenne, Wyoming. A Request for Information for architecture and engineering services was issued and will be followed by the release of a Request for Proposals for these services early in the next fiscal year. In FY2009, NSF will establish a formal process for review and approval of the development during its major phases. NSF, NCAR, UCAR, and the Wyoming partners will work together to finalize business plans, milestones, and timelines within the framework NSF establishes.
