Events for October 8, 2026

The AI boom has opened a widening gap between the power the grid can deliver and the power gigawatt-scale compute demands — and closing that gap without breaking the systems, water tables, and communities it depends on is the defining infrastructure challenge of the moment. Jakob Carnemark, Founder and CEO of Endeavour — a full-stack data center and infrastructure innovation company redefining the built environment for the age of AI, together with Beth Rattner, Endeavour’s Head of Impact and Sustainability and former Executive Director of The Biomimicry Institute — join us to talk through how Endeavour is approaching it.

The Department of Architecture will host a special event to honor the career and achievements of Professor Emeritus Donald Greenberg. He will be joined on stage by faculty guests for a conversation to discuss his professional trajectory, as well as the themes, challenges, and opportunities he sees for design education and practice, and their relationship to computing — from computer graphics and representation to AI.
