Michigan data center and compute infrastructure research

This state has reviewed research coverage from the national 50-state Atlas. Exact project locations are published only after source evidence establishes coordinates; state-level, regulatory, utility and prospective evidence remains visible without inventing map precision.

State research coverage

Michigan is part of the 50-state research coverage.

The current reviewed research set contains 5 accepted evidence records for Michigan, including 4 confirmed and 1 accepted prospective rows, with a research cutoff of 2026-08-20. These are evidence records, not a count of unique facilities.

Prospective records remain labeled as proposals, applications, forecasts, targets, queue entries or other non-operational states. The Atlas does not convert state-level or locality evidence into a precise project point unless a controlling source supports that location.

Evidence-backed project locations

Michigan project points

Source-exact records use supported coordinates. Dashed rings mark Census address-range geocodes, not rooftop or surveyed coordinates. Qualified research candidates are shown separately at Census locality or county centroids when that is the strongest source-backed geography; those markers do not claim a precise site coordinate.

Documented project / site inventory

13 project, facility, campus or documented site records are tracked for MI.

This project layer combines available project-profile, permit/intent and civic-impact evidence. Records retain unresolved location precision and limitations rather than inventing coordinates.

Michigan research pass: complete verified

This state completion snapshot summarizes source-backed research. It does not add map points, alter canonical facility counts, convert provider presence into a separate physical facility, or convert planned capacity into operating IT load.

Operating-source reconciliation and publication controls

Strict operating source coverage

  • 123NET: 4 strict physical records
  • 365 Data Centers: 1 strict physical record
  • EdgeConneX: 1 strict physical record
  • Liberty Center One: 1 strict physical record
  • ManagedWay: 2 strict physical records
  • OTAVA: 3 strict physical records
  • Switch: 1 strict physical record
  • US Signal: 4 strict physical records
  • Liquid Web: 3 strict physical records

Controls retained

  • 400 76th Street SW is counted once as a physical building; US Signal MI02 remains a provider-presence record unless distinct-building evidence appears.
  • Current OTAVA material supports three Michigan facility locations; historical Ann Arbor 1/2 naming does not create a fourth current site.
  • Switch Pyramid's up-to-237-MW completion figure is future campus capacity, not present operating IT load.
  • All 48 licensed discovery rows remain separate from strict canonical counts.
