A group of New Hampshire legislators visited the Durham campus on Oct. 3 for a research tour. The group explored some of UNH’s most innovative and high-impact research centers and labs, including UNHInnovation, which is dedicated to connecting businesses and entrepreneurs with research, experts and talent across the university. The group also stopped at the Chase Ocean Engineering Lab, which recently opened a 12,000-square-foot addition with new labs and equipment, and at Kingsbury Hall to learn about research into climate resilient infrastructure and stormwater. The day concluded with an event honoring J. Brent Loy, professor of plant biology and genetics, for his contributions to 50 years of research at UNH.
