Today at 15:00 UTC we drill into the technical specifics that contribute to the safety and sustainability of spaces used for the teaching, practice and display of the fine arts. These occupancies are typically at greater risk than classrooms because they usually contain volatile fluids for artistic painting or biologic specimen preservation, kilns for pottery, fabrics and related machinery for teaching fashion design and practice.

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.

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.
