RIKEN Fugaku NEXT New Computer Building

Announced last observed as of 2026-10-13 · Project announcement

RIKEN invited bids on October 13, 2026 for a new building to house Fugaku NEXT at 7-1-1 Minatojima-minamimachi, Kobe. The contract covers design, construction and building maintenance through March 31, 2036. This is an announced procurement: an awarded contract, construction start and opening have not been confirmed. The notice gives no selected current power capacity or building size. evidence

RIKEN · published 2026-10-13

RIKEN says the earlier competition received no valid proposals by September 4, 2026, and directs bidders to the revised October 13 procurement. The project remains a new building for Fugaku NEXT. Earlier design documents and the general operation target around 2030 predate this revised competition; they do not establish its final technical requirements or opening date. evidence

RIKEN · publication date not stated

The August 2026 procurement version identifies the proposed site at 7-1-1 Minatojima-minamimachi and describes RIKEN as managing the land under a use loan from Kobe City. The revised October tender keeps the same address. These earlier requirements provide property history; their building size, power specifications and handover schedule are not treated as confirmed requirements of the revised competition. evidence

RIKEN · published 2026-08-06

RIKEN published its public market consultation for the Fugaku NEXT building on October 15, 2025, with the project overview and property maps. This dates the historical plan used to identify the proposed property. It is separate from the revised October 2026 tender. evidence

Authority: Compiled location reference
Source entity: Campus
Method: official_target_property_photo_outline_registered_to_gsi_xyz_tiles_with_approx_epsg9936_wgs84_bridge
Derivation: georeferenced_source_map
Precision scope: Approximate interior marker for the proposed Fugaku NEXT parent property at 7-1-1 Minatojima-minamimachi, south of the existing Fugaku facilities. Derived from RIKEN’s historical property outline, with the address reconfirmed in the October 13, 2026 tender. The final building footprint is unknown; this is not a surveyed position.
Horizontal uncertainty: Not reported
Source-plan drawing, imagery acquisition date and orthorectification, geodetic-frame approximation, and actual property boundaries have no complete error budget. Image-fit residuals and coordinate decimal places do not establish ground accuracy. EPSG:9936 is an approximate WGS84-ensemble bridge with no epoch-specific correction; output is rounded to four decimals.
Geometry evidence: 19161e26

A locator places the site on the map. It is not a building footprint, a construction extent or a surveyed boundary unless the use scope is an official boundary, and even then it is a parcel or permit boundary.
