Hato Rey’s Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico broke ground Tuesday on a $10 million renovation and expansion project for its main campus that will result in an improved multipurpose building and the addition of a new pedestrian access, school officials said.
The Puerto Rico Institute of Robotics, a local nonprofit dedicated to sparking the interest and knowledge among students in the disciplines of science, math, engineering, and technology, has been chosen among nine organizations that will partner with NASA this summer to help the agency implement its 2011 “Summer of Innovation” education program.
Following a $2.9 million investment, the Polytechnic University announced Monday its expansion into the Central Florida region, with the inauguration of its new 40,000 square-foot campus.
