The University of Virginia is considering the construction of a new data center to meet future research demands. The university's finance committee was briefed on the need for the 72-million-dollar project earlier this month.

They also feel that would keep faculty members from moving to other institutions with a better research infrastructure. If approved, construction could begin in 2029.
