A facility east of Cheyenne that will contain one of the world's most powerful supercomputers is now more than half complete.

The facility will be used largely for climate modeling for the Boulder, Colo.-based National Consortium for Atmospheric Research.

Project Director Krista Laursen says she's pleased with the amount of progress to date and says construction is proceeding on schedule.

Work on the $70 million facility began last year and is expected to wrap up by the end of this year. Research using the supercomputer is expected to get underway in the spring of 2012.
