What the source record says
Two-story, 450,000 sq ft, 72 MW building — the second of four planned on Aligned's 75-acre, roughly 264 MW campus inside Quantum Frederick. About 345 skilled workers were on site at topping out with more than 80,000 craft hours logged.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
