    The document summarizes the history and specifications of the Advanced Computing Facility at the University of Edinburgh. It was originally constructed in 1976 with one large computer room cooled by DX refrigeration. In 2004 it was refurbished with two new computer rooms and a chilled water plant capable of 1.2MW cooling capacity. In 2007 it underwent a major expansion for a national computing service, including a new external plant room for increased cooling capacity up to 7MW.
