When two powerhouses come together to develop a new business curriculum the results are usually spectacular. And this was no exception.

GE Capital and University of Connecticut formed a partnership, called Edgelab, in the fall of 2000. University faculty and students work jointly with GE Capital executives to research emerging technologies such as biometrics, digital signature and voice recognition to develop real e-business solutions.

CPG designed Edgelab, an 11,000 sprawling facility to stimulate creative sharing of ideas. The training classroom was a 50' curved movable wall easily handles groups of various sizes in a number of furniture configurations. The center is designed with the latest in video technology connecting to GE Capital offices and other UCONN facilities.

The center is so successful the CPG has already started planning Phase II expanding open area workstations, labs, and additional training facilities.
