University Breaks Ground for Cutting-Edge Data Science School
UVA Today, Oct. 22
The world is awash with data, and the University of Virginia’s School of Data Science will help sort it.
UVA dignitaries, including President Jim Ryan, Vice Rector Robert Hardie and Data Science Dean Philip Bourne, donned hardhats and pitched ceremonial shovelfuls of dirt Thursday as they broke ground on the school’s new building in the Ivy Road entrance corridor, at the intersection of Ivy Road and Emmet Street. The 14-acre parcel eventually will hold the Data Science School, a hotel and conference center, a performing arts center and other proposed academic buildings.
