  Section 1. Legislative findings. The legislature finds that the  state
university  of  New  York  at Albany, ("University") is in need of addi-
tional facilities to  fulfill  its  legislatively  mandated  mission  of
research,  education,  and  workforce training. Specifically, additional

Innovation  Research  initiative  and  those  necessary for a growth and
revitalization initiative for the University's Alumni Quad,  a  residen-

state university of New York at Albany will help promote and  accomplish
these goals.
