Who is behind it
The record, newest first
Builder Mission Critical Facilities International said the facility was open, with 88 racks and 1 MW in its first phase and a master plan for 440 racks and 5 MW. (Mission Critical Facilities International, Jan. 18, 2022)
Local trade press reported the new BBT facility about 10 miles west of downtown Midland, next to the spaceport. (Permian Basin Oil and Gas Magazine, March 1, 2021)
A TDLR registration for the BBT Midland Data Center at 2909 Wright Drive names Big Bend Telephone as owner and describes a $1.1 million, 5,200 sq ft conversion of existing buildings into a data center, with work listed from April to August 2020.
