Binghamton Breaks Ground on New Smart Energy Building
Harvey Stenger, Binghamton University President, spoke at an August 27 groundbreaking ceremony for the $70 million, 114,000-square-foot building at the Innovative Technologies Complex. He was joined by dignitaries including Lt. Gov. Robert Duffy, state Sen. Thomas Libous, state Assemblywoman Donna Lupardo and state Assemblyman Clifford Crouch.
The Smart Energy Research and Development Facility is a result of the NYSUNY 2020 plan approved by Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the legislature in 2012. NYSUNY 2020 allowed the University to implement a rational tuition program that enabled the campus to embark on a project for significant growth and to pursue a smart-energy research site.
