"The four-story Computing and Information Science Building - totaling 135,000 square feet of additional classrooms, Ph.D. labs, communal spaces and more - opened in August, on time and on schedule. Located south of Gates Hall, the building provides space for faculty, students and staff from all three Cornell Bowers departments - computer science, information science, and statistics and data science."
"Ann was a Cornell champion for Information Age disciplines when CS and IS were just taking off, and the evolution of Cornell Bowers to where we are today has been made possible, not only by Ann's remarkable philanthropy, but also by her incredible advocacy around the importance of the information disciplines over decades."
Leaders, donors, faculty and students gathered Oct. 24 to dedicate the new four-story Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science building. The 135,000-square-foot facility opened in August with classrooms, Ph.D. labs and communal spaces and is located south of Gates Hall. The building provides space for faculty, students and staff from computer science, information science, and statistics and data science. Cornell launched its Department of Computer Science in 1965 and has pursued long-term technological vision. The college became Cornell Bowers in 2020 through a gift from Ann S. Bowers, whose philanthropy and advocacy advanced information disciplines.
