The Digital Technology Center has 42,000 assignable square feet or approximately one-third of the space in Walter Library. The University-wide Digital Technology Center is funded by the State of Minnesota, in which ECE, CS&E, and the outstanding new faculty members will play a major role. The DTC is the home for the University of Minnesota Supercomputing Institute, the Laboratory for Computational Science and Engineering, the Telecommunications and Advanced Networking Laboratory, and a Software Engineering and Internet Technologies Laboratory. The three new chaired faculty will find that DTC offers tremendous opportunities for collaborative and interdisciplinary research.
