SOURCE RECORD

Connect Data Centers Temple (Building 1) / 5MW Temple Data Center: source record

under_construction

Address conflict: the primary TDLR record lists 2313 Eberhardt Road while DCD, Baxtel and Data Center Map list 2325 Eberhardt Road; the two Oppidan buildings sit 0.07 miles apart, which likely explains the discrepancy. Design firm Salas O'Brien.
