University of Florida Opens News and Science Facilities With Help from Harris
GAINESVILLE, FLA.: The University of Florida recently
dedicated two new facilities with participation from Harris. The Melbourne,
Fla., broadcast equipment vendor said it donated $3 million to the school for
renovating the Computer and Information Science Engineering building, and for
the establishment of research and faculty funding endowments.
UF also opened a new 21st Century News Laboratory in the College of Journalism
and Communications Center for Media Innovation and Research. The lab, opened
Sept. 24, is outfitted with high-definition production and broadcast equipment
from Harris, which also assisted with the design. It’s said to encompass the
“multimedia environment typical of today’s commercial broadcasting operations.”
