Cornell Wins Tech Campus Competition

Cornell President David J. Skorton said he believes the tech campus competition came by the way, “as the 21st century innovation sector is shifting from research for its own sake to research in the service of business and industry.”

The campus plans call for the construction of the largest net-zero building on the East Coast, meaning the campus will generate as much energy as it consumes. Adding to that commitment to sustainability, the campus will be decked out in four acres of solar panels. Academic classes will focus on information science in health care, social mobile networking and cloud computing, as then as information security and sustainability.
