「英中对照」ThisWay Global完成德州农工RELLIS破产数据中心收购 拟改建73MW AI枢纽
ThisWay Global to Convert Bankrupt RELLIS Site into 73 MW AI Hub
ThisWay Global宣布已于2026年9月30日完成德州农工大学RELLIS园区破产未完工数据中心项目收购,拟分阶段建设总容量73MW的研究与AI计算中心。项目占地约25英亩,将把原常规托管风冷设计改造为丙二醇-水混合介质闭环液冷系统,以支持高密度HPC负载。项目拟部署Amalgamy.AI软件栈验证主权AI蓝图,开发节奏与电力供应及审批绑定,目前供电申请容量尚未披露。
材料呈现了存量破产数据中心改造为AI算力枢纽的具体规划,其液冷适配、电力联动的分阶段开发思路具备行业参考性,项目审批、供电落实及落地进展仍需核验。

The Texas A&M University System (TAMUS) has explored building a data center at its RELLIS Campus in Bryan, Texas, since 2013. A private developer began building one in 2024 but filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in November 2025, leaving the project unfinished.德州农工大学系统(TAMUS)一直在探索建设一座数据中心,地点位于得克萨斯州布莱恩市的 RELLIS 校区,相关探索自2013年开始。一家私营开发商于2024年动工建设一座数据中心,但申请第11章破产保护,时间为2025年11月,导致项目未完工。
ThisWay Global (TWG), an Austin-based AI software company, says it acquired the project out of bankruptcy and completed the transaction on September 30, 2026. TWG plans a phased Research and AI Compute Center (RACC) totaling 73 MW on about 25 acres of TAMUS land.总部位于奥斯汀的 AI 软件公司 ThisWay Global(TWG)表示,其已从破产程序中收购该项目,并于2026年9月30日完成交易。TWG 计划分阶段建设研究与 AI 计算中心(RACC),项目位于 TAMUS 约25英亩的土地上,总规模为73 MW。
TWG plans to use the location to demonstrate its Sovereign AI Blueprint, which it developed and introduced in September 2026, as a framework for documenting who controls the data, AI models, and computing resources in an environment and who can access them. The goal is to make claims of digital sovereignty verifiable.TWG 计划利用该地点展示其主权 AI 蓝图(Sovereign AI Blueprint);该蓝图于2026年9月开发并发布,作为一个框架,用于记录环境中由谁控制数据、AI 模型和计算资源,以及谁可以访问它们。其目标是让数字主权主张可验证。
“ThisWay saw great value in the bankrupt, languishing project, as the ideal place to demonstrate our Sovereign AI Blueprint and the meaningful outcomes that result from a mission-focused center for innovation,” TWG CEO Stephan Fabel told Data Center Knowledge. “The project’s location, on public land administered by TAMUS and RELLIS Campus leadership, presents the opportunity for ThisWay to not only support TAMU research but also its industry, defense, and governmental partners.”“ThisWay 从这个破产且陷入停滞的项目中看到了巨大价值,它是展示我们的主权 AI 蓝图(Sovereign AI Blueprint),以及展示由以使命为导向的创新中心所带来的有意义成果的理想之地,”TWG 首席执行官 Stephan Fabel 告诉Data Center Knowledge。“该项目位于由 TAMUS 和 RELLIS 校区管理层管理的公共土地上,使 ThisWay 不仅有机会支持 TAMU 的研究,还能支持其工业、国防和政府合作伙伴。”

RELLIS provides TWG with an existing building on public land inside a university research campus. “The first building will encompass about 25% of the total compute power of the innovation-focused campus,” Fabel said. “ThisWay Global, in partnership with Texas-based Centaurus Capital, Skylar Capital Management, and other investors, provided the capital to purchase the project and make creditors whole.”RELLIS 为 TWG 提供了一栋位于大学研究园区内公共土地上的现有建筑。“第一座建筑将占这个以创新为核心的园区总算力的约25%,”Fabel 表示。“ThisWay Global 与总部位于得克萨斯州的 Centaurus Capital、Skylar Capital Management 及其他投资者合作,提供了收购该项目并全额偿付债权人所需的资金。”
TWG describes RACC as a sovereign training and innovation center for research, workforce development, and regulated industries, including defense, healthcare, and energy.TWG 将 RACC 描述为一个主权训练与创新中心,服务于研究、人才培养以及国防、医疗保健和能源等受监管行业。
“We are also looking forward to working with the larger R1 university ecosystem to provide short-term, large-scale access to HPC-grade infrastructure,” Fabel noted.Fabel 指出:“我们也期待与更广泛的 R1 大学生态系统合作,提供短期、大规模使用 HPC 级基础设施的机会。”
Facility Redesign: HPC Density and Liquid Cooling设施重新设计:HPC 密度与液冷
TWG plans to adjust the existing design and expand capacity. “The building was designed to have a small amount of computational power, with over half the facility planned to have typical office and classroom space,” Fabel said. “Our team spent several weeks conducting structural analysis and computational planning so that the existing design could be converted into a state-of-the-art innovation and training center.”TWG 计划调整现有设计并扩大容量。“该建筑原先设计只承载少量算力,设施超过一半的空间计划用作普通办公室和教室,”Fabel 说。“我们的团队花了数周时间进行结构分析和计算规划,以便将现有设计改造为最先进的创新与训练中心。”

The original plan contemplated conventional colocation and air cooling. TWG says it will add a closed-loop liquid cooling system using a propylene glycol-water mix, enabling high-density racks and HPC workloads.最初方案考虑的是传统主机托管和风冷。TWG 表示将增加一套采用丙二醇-水混合液的闭环液冷系统,以支持高密度机架和 HPC 工作负载。
On power, TWG has not disclosed its requested capacity from Bryan Texas Utilities (BTU). “RACC is planned as a phased development, with deployment tied to confirmed power availability and the applicable utility approvals,” Fabel said.在电力方面,TWG 尚未披露其向 Bryan Texas Utilities (BTU) 申请的容量。“RACC 计划分阶段开发,部署与已确认的电力供应和适用的公用事业部门批准挂钩,”Fabel 说。
Planned AI/HPC Workloads and Compliance Stack规划中的 AI/HPC 工作负载与合规栈
TWG plans to run its Amalgamy.AI software stack on each node to enforce sovereign controls and compliance. “RACC is meant to provide desperately needed GPU access to some of the world’s most important missions: security, healthcare, energy, and research,” Fabel said. “Our mission is to bring large-scale compute to underserved industries and create an opportunity for us to leapfrog in innovation and scientific progress.”TWG 计划在每个节点上运行其 Amalgamy.AI 软件栈,以实施主权控制和合规。“RACC 旨在为世界上一些最重要的任务:安全、医疗保健、能源和研究,提供迫切需要的 GPU 访问能力,”Fabel 说。“我们的使命是将大规模计算带入服务不足的行业,并为我们在创新和科学进步方面实现跨越式发展创造机会。”
