SVP Mackey addresses data center concerns in town hall meeting

Oakland University administrators held a town hall meeting to outline early-stage plans for a proposed enterprise data center, not an AI data center, developed through a public-private partnership with Fairmount Properties. Senior Vice President Stephen W. Mackey addressed concerns from students and faculty regarding environmental impact, water usage, and potential strain on campus utilities. The project is currently in its initial feasibility phase, with no final decisions yet made.
