Proposed UC Sponsored Construction Projects
Computational Research and Theory (CRT) Facility
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Computational Research and Theory (CRT) Facility would be on the forefront of high-performance supercomputing research. It would be constructed on UC land adjacent to the UC Berkeley campus on Cyclotron Road.
The project would include an approximately 140,000 gross-square-foot, $112.9 million computer facility and office structure, associated infrastructure, and access improvements. The facility would accommodate up to approximately 300 staff.
Key research areas expected to benefit from the CRT Facility would include global climate change research, fusion energy research, biological and environmental research, basic energy science, and astrophysics.
The project’s Environmental Impact Report and design were approved by the UC Regents in May 2008. The Department of Energy is currently undergoing an NEPA analysis of the proposed project.
