UConn Breaks Ground On $95 Million Engineering And Science Building

[jostar1]

STORRS — The University of Connecticut broke ground Wednesday on a $95 million engineering and science building that will bolster efforts to expand and strengthen research programs.

The five-story, 118,000-square-foot structure is expected to open in 2017 and will provide laboratory space for UConn's growing genomics, biomedical, chemical engineering, and cybersystem research programs.

The project will be funded with $60 million from the 21st Century UConn fund and $35 million from the $1.5 billion Next Generation Connecticut program designed to boost science, technology, engineering and math at the university.

UConn President Susan Herbst said that having the new building in the heart of the campus will "do more than ever to spark innovation, catalyze research advances, and build on the momentum we've already gained as a source for new and groundbreaking research. This is a powerful driver for Connecticut's economy and will provide amazing opportunities for our faculty and students."

I actually miss the days when everything besides Gampel looked low budget.

Where is this one? I saw one starting to go up between Pharmacy and Chemistry the other day.

I'm sure it was posted in here for a specific reason... interested "visitors" are not likely to visit the Alumni Stuff Off Topic Threads.

Did we let Jim Delaney do the ceremonial ground breaking with the shovel for pictures?

Until we are in a P4/5 conference this is a CR related development. Let's hope this help with AAU.
