Malloy, Herbst welcome new UConn Engineering and Science Building

With University of Connecticut President Susan Herbst and Gov. Dannel Malloy both nearing the end of their tenure, the two shared a celebratory moment Monday afternoon as they joined students, faculty, legislators, and industry partners in cutting the ribbon to the university’s new Engineering and Science Building.
The $95 million, five-floor facility, which houses the School of Engineering and the Institute for Systems Genomics for undergraduate and graduate students, is the product of Herbst and Malloy’s successful efforts to expand the flagship school’s science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) programs. The university is now ranked by U.S. News & World Report as the No. 18 public institution in the country.
