RIC names technology center after Langevin

PROVIDENCE – Rhode Island College named its Center for Design, Innovation and Advanced Manufacturing after U.S. Rep. James R. Langevin in a ceremony Oct. 17.

The center will provide state-of-the-art technology for RIC students, engage K-12 students in career exploration and offer training space for manufacturing businesses.

Langevin, a Rhode Island Democrat and 1990 RIC graduate, in a statement reflected on his ties to the school: “RIC ignited in me a passion for learning, and my experiences both in and out of the classroom laid the foundation for my career in public service.”

The 5,100-square-foot center’s equipment includes two programmable robots for automated manufacturing. •
