What the source record says
Site near East Tillman Road and Adams Center Road, SE Fort Wayne (Allen County). 700+ acres, multi-building campus explicitly optimized for Gemini AI platform and machine learning. Google STAR workforce program launched with Ivy Tech Community College. Coordinates are approximate site area; exact parcel centroid not verified from public permit records. Previous inkfreenews.com source replaced with WANE 15 which confirmed the same Dec 11 2025 operational story.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.

Compute Atlas 1.34.1 with retained prior rows and publication holds. This is a DataCenterData composite, not an unmodified publisher edition. This row uses the captured source from 1.34.1, source as of 2026-10-14T20:40:52.293Z.
That does not mean the row is wrong, and it does not mean no reviewed record exists for the same place. A link is added only when an identifier or source establishes the match.
