New high-tech center aids medicine, energy, environmental research

$22 million in research dollars designated for projects in new computational, educational facility

HOUSTON, Feb. 19, 2002 A new computation, visualization and educational facility unveiled today at the University of Houston will connect UH researchers with scientists worldwide and provide state-of-the-art tools to aid environmental studies, biological and biomedical research, and the development of energy exploration technologies.

More than $22 million in research funding is associated with programs, institutes and centers supported by the Texas Learning and Computation Center, or TLC2. Area lawmakers, led by U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay, R-Sugar Land and Texas Sen. Rodney Ellis, D-Houston, as well as representatives from NASA, the EPA and the Texas Natural Resource and Conservation Coalition attended the event in Philip Guthrie Hoffman Hall on the UH campus.

TLC2 is dedicated to designing and delivering advanced research and learning techniques. The center houses high-tech classrooms, research facilities, high-speed computers and computer modeling experts who investigate complex scientific problems. In addition to supporting research and the education of UH students, the centers resources also will be utilized by industry and government partners, such as NASA and oil companies, to provide workforce development through distance learning.

This outstanding research center exists because of the extraordinary support we have received from federal and state governments working in partnership with private industry, said Arthur K. Smith, chancellor of the UH System and UH president. The results of the center's collaborative research projects will take us farther into the frontiers of new knowledge and will further stimulate the economies of Houston and Texas. TLC2 provided the seed funding for an air quality modeling project that will establish the hard science upon which sound public policy decisions can be made. Early results from this effor
