Bright Ideas
The dawning of a late summer day lent shimmer to the new Innovation Partnership Building (IPB) on Discovery Drive in Storrs. One of UConn’s most specialized R&D facilities, the IPB brings together world-class academic researchers with industry partners from the private sector to accelerate the development of ground-breaking technologies in materials science, additive manufacturing, cybersecurity, flexible electronics, energy, and other fields.
Anchor partners include United Technologies Corp., General Electric, Comcast, Pratt & Whitney, and Eversource. And the IPB is home to one of the most advanced microscopy centers in the country thanks to a partnership with Thermo Fisher Scientific. Students in fine arts and engineering worked together to install “Wall Drawing 867,” a colorful mural conceptualized by late Hartford artist Sol LeWitt, onto the walls of the glass lobby. Their collaboration was one of many initiatives planned between students of arts and sciences.
