The University of Illinois and Capital One (NYSE: COF), today
announced the grand opening of the Capital One Illinois Digital
Campus Lab in Research Park. The Digital Campus Lab is Capital
One’s newest lab and the company’s first partnership with a
university.
The Lab will focus on research and experimentation in data
science and data technologies as well as on infrastructure
automation and use of the most modern programming frameworks and
technologies such as Open Source, Big Data, Cloud, DevOps, among
others. University of Illinois students, both undergraduate and
graduate, will work year-round in the Lab.
“Engineering is a critical focus for Capital One and we’re
attracting top talent – designers, software engineers, data
scientists and product managers – and empowering them with the
technologies they need to rapidly innovate based on what consumers
want today,” said George Brady, Executive Vice President of
Technology Operations at Capital One.
The new Lab extends Capital One’s presence in Illinois, where it
has a large facility in the Chicago area. The Digital Campus Lab
will leverage the strength of data analytics research and education
at the University of Illinois, which crosses many disciplines
including computer science, math and statistics, finance, and
information science.
“With the opening of this Lab, Capital One has shown a
commitment to providing realworld opportunities to our students as
they apply in real time what they are learning in the classroom,”
said interim Chancellor Barbara Wilson. “Adding a customer-facing
corporation to the Research Park broadens the experiences our
students may tap, enriching their Illinois education.”
The University of Illinois Research Park is home to innovation
centers for multinational corporations and publicly traded firms
