Since 2000, with the approval of The Rensselaer Plan, the campus and its students have seen and felt the trend of renaissance and change on campus. New state of the art facilities have been built, such as The Center for Biotechnology and Interdisciplinary Studies. On top of that addition, made in 2004, plans and construction are underway for the Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center and the Computational Center for Nanotechnology Innovations.
