Precision scope
Area centroid of the 55 non-public-domain cadastral parcels named in annex I of the regional declaration for the Zaragoza-WIND campus (27.98 ha). It locates the declared campus area, not the planned 156,301 m2 data-centre building, the substations, an entrance or a surveyed boundary.
Horizontal uncertainty
Not reported

Catastro publishes no positional accuracy for these boundaries. The point is a derived interior anchor in a declared area whose farthest vertex is about 610 m away; the building footprint within it is not published.

Geometry evidence

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.
