Building 725 Expansion

Lacy, Susan L.; Noe, John P.; Ogden, Jeffry B.; Hammond, Simon D.

In October 2017, Sandia broke ground for a new computing center dedicated to High Performance Computing. The east expansion of Building 725 was entirely conceived of, designed, and built in less than 18 months and is a certified LEED Gold design building, the first of its kind for a data center in the State of New Mexico. This 15,000 square-foot building, with novel energy and water-saving technologies, will house Astra, the first in a new generation of Advanced Architecture Prototype Systems to be deployed by the NNSA and the first of many HPC systems in Building 725 East.
