With a $10-million investment, the Charlotte-based global company will renovate the 1985 Burson Hall into the Honeywell Innovation Hub, Honeywell and UNC Charlotte announced Monday. The hub is expected to open in 2027.
“This is less about donating money and more about a deep partnership with UNC to build a strong pipeline for future people who are going to come into the job market,” Honeywell Chairman and CEO Vimal Kapur recently told The Charlotte Observer.
The hub will directly impact thousands of students in engineering, data science and computer science, UNC Charlotte Chancellor Sharon Gaber said in an interview. “We have a responsibility to connect our students with real-world experiences and industry-leading partners,” Gaber said.
