ThisWay Global has announced plans to develop an AI and high-performance computing center on a 25-acre site at the Texas A&M-RELLIS campus in Bryan. This development follows the company's court-approved acquisition of project assets on September 30, 2026.
Why it matters
The facility is intended to provide dedicated AI and HPC capacity to research, public-sector, and industry users. It represents a significant infrastructure expansion for the region's computing capabilities.
The planned data center will feature 73 MW of power capacity for AI and high-performance workloads. The design includes closed-loop, direct-to-chip liquid cooling to manage heat density in the facility.
The players
ThisWay Global
An Austin-based computing infrastructure firm founded in 2016 that manages AI and high-performance compute workloads.
Texas A&M-RELLIS campus
A research and development campus in Bryan that serves as the site for the new data center development.
The details
The facility will employ Amalgamy.ai software to manage workload orchestration and policy administration across its compute infrastructure. To handle high thermal loads, the design utilizes closed-loop, direct-to-chip liquid cooling — a method where coolant is circulated directly to processors to dissipate heat more efficiently than air-based systems. Development will proceed in phases, contingent upon final engineering, financing, and utility arrangements.
Timeline
2016: ThisWay Global was founded.

The Tech Race
This project integrates into the Texas A&M-RELLIS campus ecosystem, which prioritizes the clustering of heavy computing infrastructure near academic research centers. It follows a growing trend of private entities leveraging university-adjacent land to solve for the specific power and cooling requirements of modern AI development.
The project will provide specialized AI and high-performance computing resources to local research and industry sectors in Bryan once phased development is complete. Availability remains subject to future engineering, financing, and utility milestones.
The takeaway
The move signals a significant effort to scale regional AI capacity through specialized cooling and orchestration software. Watch for future updates regarding the phased construction timeline and utility infrastructure milestones.
