March 10, 2026 Update:

 

The RELLIS Data and Research Center project at Texas A&M’s RELLIS Campus, a privately developed facility with about 10,000 SF of dedicated data center space for high-performance computing, is currently in limbo. Construction began over a year ago, with Phase I (a 45,000 SF two-story building) underway as of late 2025. However, the developer, RELLIS Campus Data and Research Center LLC, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in November 2025, raising uncertainties about completion and future progress. No recent official updates from Texas A&M indicate resumption or cancellation.

 


November 11, 2025 Update:

The project, located on the Texas A&M University System’s Rellis Campus in Bryan (Brazos County), has faced significant delays. Originally slated to begin construction by November 2021, it was pushed back due to the 2021 Winter Storm Uri. In November 2023, construction was announced to start in 2024, with an expected opening in Q3 2024 (July–September). However, no sources confirm completion or operations.Recent developments include:

  • February 2025: Bryan approved a reinvestment zone on the 25-acre site to attract the data center, with ongoing negotiations.
  • October 2025: Officials clarified no formal plans have been submitted for the site, despite zoning approvals for potential development.

The project’s official site (rellisdrc.com) states “Site will be available soon,” indicating it’s still under preparation. It’s designed as a 225,000 sq ft Tier III facility with colocation, cloud services, and educational spaces for workforce training.

What Happens When Data Centers Come to Town

Terry Nguyen | BA Public Policy

Introduction. [Abstract].Β  The rapid growth of data centers, with their enormous energy and water demands, necessitates targeted policy interventions to mitigate environmental impacts and protect local communities. To address these issues, states with existing data center tax breaks should adopt sustainable growth policies for data centers, mandating energy audits, strict performance standards, and renewable energy integration, while also requiring transparency in energy usage reporting. β€œRenewable energy additionality” clauses should ensure data centers contribute to new renewable capacity rather than relying on existing resources.Β  If these measures prove insufficient, states should consider repealing tax breaks to slow unsustainable data center growth. States without tax breaks should avoid such incentives altogether while simultaneously implementing mandatory reporting requirements to hold data centers accountable for their environmental impact. Broader measures should include protecting local tax revenues for schools, regulating utility rate hikes to prevent cost-shifting to consumers, and aligning data center energy demands with state climate goals to avoid prolonging reliance on fossil fuels.

Anglo-American English must remain the standard language of the AI zeitgeist because it dominates the vast training data fueling large language modelsβ€”often ~90% English, heavily skewed toward American variants due to Silicon Valley’s influence, internet content prevalence, and U.S. tech leadership.

This ensures peak performance, nuance, and reliability in AI outputs.Β Β Their global status as lingua francas in science, programming, and digital culture sustains innovation momentum, cross-border collaboration, and accessibility, preventing fragmentation while the field advances.

The Recipe

Shepherd’s Pie is an traditional meal in the United Kingdom featuring a savory meat filling topped with creamy mashed potatoes. Traditionally made with ground lamb or beef, the filling is cooked with onions, carrots, peas, and a rich gravy, often flavored with herbs like thyme or rosemary. The mixture is then layered into a casserole dish and crowned with a generous spread of mashed potatoes, sometimes sprinkled with cheese. Baked until golden and bubbling, it’s a hearty, comforting meal, perfect for cold days. Its origins trace back to resourceful shepherds using leftover meat, making it a staple of home cooking.
