Discussions are currently underway to firm up plans for the facility.
Dr. Lemnios emphasized that the location will be fully operational by the start of the Spring 2001 term, as originally planned. An announcement will be made about the new site location as soon as the details of the plan are confirmed. Faculty from both the Hartford, Connecticut and Troy, New York campuses of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute will teach at the Groton campus. The school's two newest graduate programs, Bioinformatics and Information Technology, will be emphasized at the Groton site. The school has been serving students and corporations with a southeastern Connecticut site since 1977.
