Construction evidence

Dated satellite imagery of the site itself, oldest to newest, with the campus milestones that landed in each window. This is what the site looked like from orbit while announcements, permits, and energizations were dated into our ledger, so bare land, grading, and building mass tell their own story alongside the paper trail.

Dated Sentinel-2 imagery, gated to hand-verified site coordinates. Milestones synthesized from the campus's own capacity ledger, financial claims, and lifecycle events; each chip links to its source. How we source and verify it: satellite construction evidence.

Per-building manifest tied to the site polygons and imagery. When we know a building's outline we render it; when we know only its year and capacity we still surface those as first-class rows so the campus total is auditable, not a headline claim. Sorted largest-first; 5 on record.
