This is great to hear. I’m curious what they plan to do with the Utica campus. Could it be turned into a satellite campus for UAlbany? 

SUNY Polytechnic still has four other colleges - Arts & Science, Engineering, Health Sciences, and Business. They've just started a search for a permanent President.

Their real question is what they do with the Marcy Nanocenter campus developed for semiconductor & advanced technology manufacturing facilities. It's 14 miles from Poly. Since I think the research was still being done in Albany anyway, they might not have to change anything,

Has anyone heard any updated information on this topic?

Changeover will be Sept. 1.  CNSE in Utica will remain separate, so only the grad students on Fuller Road will be part of UAlbany

Does that mean no undergraduate program in nano science in Albany? Or will the undergraduates in Albany have to commute to Utica???????

Is that when the signage on the buildings is going to change? I was visiting Albany this past week and drove by the Nano college buildings on the highway and noticed they still say SUNY Poly on them.

Let's hope Schumer succeeds. This could be the fuel that helps UA regain some academic momentum.

behind paywall...can anyone post if UA is mentioned?

They don't mention UA specifically, but here are some good passages:

Mr. Schumer insists that New York will win federal dollars on its own merits, but he is also explicit about the benefit his position brings. In June, as he walked the sunlit halls of the Albany NanoTech Complex, a long-running chip research and educational facility, Mr. Schumer said he “did not close out a single discussion” with a semiconductor company without encouraging it to invest in New York."

***

Mr. Schumer paused to peer over his reading glasses at a smooth, white box the size of a mobile home: an extreme ultraviolet lithography machine, made by the Dutch firm ASML, arguably the most advanced piece of machinery ever developed.

Albany NanoTech is the only public research facility in the United States with such a machine. The facility is applying for federal funding to build a new clean room in an adjacent parking lot, and it hopes to become home to part of the government’s new research center.

“This is the perfect place,” Mr. Schumer said. “When we wrote the CHIPS and Science bill to set up a National Semiconductor Technology Center, I had Albany in mind. And I’m pushing to get it.”

SUNY Poly's nanotech college returns to UAlbany fold

Still CSNE as part of the the  College of Nanotechnology, Science, and Engineering, having been merged into the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences

Heard from a reliable source:  UNDERGRADS in Albany will absolutely be included in "College of Nanotechnology, Science, and Engineering" and fully under UAlbany administration.😀

On the department website for nanoscale science and engineering they are offering Bachelor degrees in Nanoscale Science and Nanoscale Engineering

this is good news; hopefully more is to come.

Just absolutely massive news today, beyond my wildest dreams. 
 

Governor Hochul announced a $billion dollar investment into NanoTech today, to go along with multiple billions from Tokyo Elecron, IBM, Micron, and Applied Materials to hit a 10 billion dollar semiconductor expansion at the school.  More money expected    
 

this is absolutely wild and puts UA on the map to levels seen at top 10 R&D schools in the country.

Thank God they gave back what they stole 10 years ago...this is insane news and investment in CD and UA.

Unless I'm missing something, this is truly next level for UA.

But...why not a dot of a mention on their news page or their social media??
