Just over half, $25.5 million, will help URI complete new and updated engineering facilities to support the work of researchers like Otto Gregory. The rest will support a University-affiliated Innovation Campus. Together with state leadership, community and business partners, we envision a campus where universities and businesses will collaborate on cutting-edge research that can be applied to create new products and services that will benefit the Rhode Island economy and the world. Your vote is a vote of confidence in our faculty, students and business partners, their ability to engineer and innovate, and in Rhode Island’s economic revitalization.
