The stalled data center project on Texas A&M's RELLIS campus in Bryan now has a name and a construction timeline. ThisWay Global, the Austin company that took over the site's assets through bankruptcy court at the end of September, laid out its plans Tuesday for what it now calls the Reveille AI Compute Center, KBTX reported.
The company abbreviates the name RACC, and the event took place in the Annenberg Presidential Conference Center on the A&M campus.
This site first reported on the company's purchase and its 73-megawatt plan on Oct. 9.
Construction and power
Angela Hood, the company's founder and executive chair, said the first phase is a 20-megawatt building that is about 65% complete, according to KBTX. She told KXXV the goal is for that building to be operating with computers inside by late June 2027.
A second phase, a 53-megawatt building plus a new on-site substation, would start in early 2027, Hood told KXXV, bringing the site to 73 megawatts on 25 acres. The company said the substation will supply the center's power and that cooling will rely on a closed-loop liquid system.
Hood told KXXV the water stays in that loop and needs only a small top-off every four to five years. She said the company is aiming for "no negative environmental impact."
Jobs and training
Between 250 and 300 workers are expected on site until June 2027, Hood said, and roughly 120 permanent staff would then run the facility, according to KBTX. She told KXXV that trade jobs on the project often pay between one and a half and three times the going rate for similar work elsewhere.
