Framing UConn’s Future: Tech Park - UConn Today

"Construction of the Innovation Partnership Building or IPB in Storrs marks a new milestone in UConn’s legacy as a leading public research university. The $132 million building located in north campus will provide researchers access to 115,000 square feet of state-of-the-art research space and $40 million worth of specialized equipment. The IPB will serve as an anchor for UConn’s future Technology Park and will be a focal point for ongoing and future research partnerships between UConn scientists and some of Connecticut’s – and the nation’s – leading businesses and industries.

The executive director of the UConn Tech Park is Radenka Maric, CT Clean Energy Fund Professor of Sustainable Energy and professor in the Departments of Materials Science & Engineering and Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering. She recently discussed the new building and what it means for the University and the state of Connecticut with UConn Today."
