A special ceremony at The Ohio State University on Nov. 12 marked the start of construction for a new hub of energy research and technology incubation.
Ohio State President Kristina M. Johnson joined National Science Foundation Director Sethuraman Panchanathan, Vice President and Head of Major Partnerships for ENGIE North America Serdar Tufekci, and Representatives Joyce Beatty and Troy Balderson for the groundbreaking ceremony for the Energy Advancement and Innovation Center (EAIC).
"The Energy Advancement and Innovation Center will be the epicenter of convergent research," Johnson said. "It will be an opportunity generator that provides the tools necessary for us to be effective global citizens of the 21st century who make the world a better, healthier and a more sustainable place to live."
