Today we’re opening 7,000 square foot wing and this wing will create
much needed office space for our faculty and it will also
bring together all of our entrepreneurship programs
under one roof for the first time.
There are 187 Colleges and Universities in the United States
that have Equine Programs of some sort.
Those programs range from equitation programs and horse care
and management programs to those that are in
land grant colleges that specialize in animal sciences.
UofL is the only one in the United States and
in the world that has housed an accredited Business College.
We now have a facility where we are able to bring
together all of our faculty to provide, what we call, virtual incubator space
for our student teams while they’re here and we also for the first time
have space for our unique partnership with the law school,
which is the entrepreneurship law clinic.
Charlie also mentioned the Lloyd family, Raymond and Eleanor,
and Raymond’s back here and Eleanor’s here,
and I’ve had the opportunity to get to know them over the last several years
and time and time again they have stepped forward
to help us as a University and so their gif t,
making it possible the Loyd sky garden and the sky garden
will drain to a rain garden on the ground level and the living plants
growing on the roof plus other reflected
materials will reduce the heating and air-conditioning load, so,
when we at the University of Louisville say that sustainability is happening here,
we actually truly mean that and this will
reduce the air conditioning and heating needs by 25 percent.
