A 108,000-square-foot building being constructed on campus is the newest addition to the Wyant College of Optical Sciences complex.
Theresa Palmquist El Inde Arizona The seven-story building skeleton rising in between McKale Center and the Main Library on the UA campus will soon be home to researchers hoping to develop the ultimate internet.
The College of Optical Sciences was deeply involved in the design process of the building and has hired 14 new staff members, according to Dean Thomas Loch. Three floors of the addition will be dedicated solely to optical sciences. The quantum internet also brings better security and a larger capacity to carry data, according to John O’Neil, the vice president of the UA’s Research, Innovation & Impact who is leading the Grand Challenges project.
UA’s research conducted in fields such as communication and computing, medical innovation, optical, space and health sciences generates nearly $800 million in revenue each year to the university, according to O’Neil.
