The SUNY Institute of Technology at Utica/Rome (SUNYIT) recently announced plans for its ceremonial groundbreaking, to be held on Thursday, October 14, 2 p.m.  Founded in 1966, this university offers various programs technology and professional studies.  Senator James H Donovan worked hard implementing technology into education for students during his lifetime. This will mark the beginning of an academic and industry complex on the campus. “The project will have two distinct components, the Center for Advanced Technology (CAT) and the Computer Chip Commercialization Center (“Quad-C”), which will be co-located on a site near Kunsela Hall and the Cayan Library. The CAT, a t-shaped, three-story structure, will be more than 60,000 square feet; the Quad-C is still under design and its size will grow to meet the demand of its industry tenants. The first Quad-C tenant was announced August 19; infrastructure, a technology company headquartered in Clifton Park, plans to occupy temporary space on campus until the complex is completed in 2012-2013.”
