Central to this plan is a significant expansion of its research enterprise and broadening its ‘distinction in collaborative, team-based and solutions-oriented work.’ Important components of OSU’s strategic plan and its capabilities are cutting-edge research, innovation, and engineering facilities. For example, OSU is currently constructing the Jen-Hsun and Lori Huang Collaborative Innovation Complex (HCIC), a state-of-the-art, team-based transdisciplinary research and teaching center. As part of the HCIC, OSU will also soon take ownership of a $25M NVIDIA super-computer, which will be a university-wide resource for computational research.
