Conflicts and open questions
- The 2024 release headline says South Dallas, but the body places the campus in Red Oak (Ellis County).
- Coordinates are the Red Oak town area; no street address was confirmed in an opened, dated source (Data Center Dynamics reports Stainback Road but its page showed no date).
- Only the first building, DFW9, is named in an opened source (Tradeline); other building names were not confirmed.
