The rapid growth of AI training and inference drives hyperbolic demand for data center capacity, creating a classic boom-bust dilemma on large university campuses.

Overbuild: Universities rushing to construct hyperscale or AI-focused data centers risk massive stranded capital if AI progress slows, federal funding dries up, or cheaper cloud alternatives dominate. These facilities require enormous power (often 100–500+ MW), water cooling, and land—resources that could lock campuses into 20–30-year commitments while diverting funds from core academic missions. Critics fear a repeat of the 1990s fiber-optic glut, leaving half-empty “ghost” buildings.

Underbuild: Failing to invest sufficiently risks losing top AI faculty and students to better-equipped peers (Stanford, MIT, CMU), forfeiting federal grants (e.g., NSF, CHIPS Act), and diminishing national competitiveness. In a winner-take-all AI race, campuses without GPU clusters and high-performance networking quickly fall behind in recruiting and research output.

Universities are thus caught between fear of wasteful mega-projects and fear of irrelevance.

With emphasis on OB-GYN because educational settlements are where families begin and grow among the young.

Many research universities have large medical research and clinical delivery enterprises that provide significant revenue.   We periodically scan public consultations for literature that sets the standard of care for the facilities and technologies in these enterprises in education communities.

"Savannah River Holiday" is a vibrant orchestral overture composed by Ron Nelson in 1952 (revised 1957), evoking the majestic Savannah River's dual nature. Lasting about nine minutes, it alternates between an energetic Allegro Vivace theme, bursting with rhythmic vitality and flourish, and a serene Adagio, offering somber, reflective lyricism. Originally titled "Savannah River Payday" after Erskine Caldwell's story, Nelson retitled it to sidestep copyright issues. This work exemplifies his "holiday" series, including Rocky Point Holiday and Aspen Jubilee, demanding technical prowess for advanced ensembles. Its bright colors and expansive melodies capture nature's power and tranquility.

The Texas Medical Center Orchestra (TMCO) is an independent, award-winning community orchestra founded in 2000 by conductor Libi Lebel, primarily composed of healthcare professionals like physicians, nurses, and medical students from Houston's Texas Medical Center. It operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and performs in venues such as Houston Methodist Hospital, MD Anderson Cancer Center, and the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts.

While its founder initially approached the dean of the University of Texas Medical School for support (such as free space and promotion) to launch the group, and it has occasional collaborations—like hosting events at Rice University or featuring soloists from the Shepherd School of Music at Rice—TMCO remains a standalone entity focused on the medical community.
