Penn State University

Penn State is a land-grant research university based at University Park, with nearly 90,000 students and about 20,000 faculty and staff across its campuses and online World Campus. It's one of the seven research universities in the Keystone AI and Quantum Factory, a statewide partnership launched in April 2026 with the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center, the state Department of Community and Economic Development and Team Pennsylvania to share supercomputing resources and research. The partnership hasn't announced a new building, site or power use.

Penn State's Institute for Computational and Data Sciences manages Roar, the university's high-performance research computing system, at University Park.
