GigawattRanchCompute + Thermal

Campus Plan

A ring-and-spine master plan that scales compute while expanding thermal reuse and mixed-use value.

Design Goals

Every element of the campus master plan is optimized for operational excellence, expandability, and resource efficiency.

Fault-domain isolation
Expandable interconnect
Low-water cooling pathways
Thermal corridors built-in
Security and operational resilience

Zoning Logic

Strategic placement of each zone maximizes operational efficiency while enabling thermal synergies between compute and offtake tenants.

Typical Adjacency Rules

  • Heat offtakers positioned near thermal nodes
  • Logistics separated from compute perimeters
  • R&D isolated but fully instrumented

Compute Core

High-density compute halls with standardized power and cooling interfaces, designed for modular expansion.

Energy Spine

Central utility corridor housing electrical distribution, thermal networks, and control systems.

Mixed Use District

Designated zones for agricultural, aquacultural, and light industrial tenants positioned near thermal nodes.

MURL Lab

Isolated R&D facility with full instrumentation for heat reuse pilots and thermal storage testing.

Logistics

Warehousing and light manufacturing areas separated from compute perimeters for security.

Buffer & Ecology

Perimeter zones providing security setbacks, stormwater management, and native habitat preservation.

Phased Buildout

A disciplined approach to development that de-risks investment while enabling rapid scaling.
