SUNY 2020 - Binghamton’s Energy Initiative
Main objectives Construct a state-of-the-art
Smart Energy Research and Development Facility
foster public/private sector research partnerships, technology development, and jobs
Academic and research excellence
educational experiences for 2,000 additional students
hire 150 new faculty (40% in smart energy)
reduce average class size
3
SUNY 2020 - Binghamton’s Energy Initiative
Under our plan all students will benefit
150 additional faculty means broader exposure of students to cutting-edge courses across the university
Lower student:faculty ratio from 21:1 to 19:1
150 additional faculty (an 18% increase) = 400 new undergraduate research opportunities
Research experience is on-the-job training
expanded course offerings means greater diversity of career options AND a fast track to graduation

SUNY 2020 - Binghamton’s Energy Initiative
A unique plan
Binghamton University is unique in proposing enrollment growth as part of the NYSUNY 2020 grant proposal
Binghamton University received over 32,000 applications last year for an incoming class of 3,200 students
1,100 new resident hall beds underway to be online in fall 2013
Increased enrollment between 2011 and 2016
1,600 additional undergraduate students
400 additional graduate and professional students 5
