How can the places we design, build, and use, from homes and workplaces to communities and infrastructure, advance human health and well-being?
The Cocoziello Institute of Real Estate Innovation invites Penn State faculty to a university-wide Faculty Idea Lab to explore that question together. Whether you work in engineering, business, the social sciences, the life sciences, policy, or another field, bring your curiosity and perspective. Through facilitated, hands-on discussions, participants will meet colleagues, discover unexpected connections, and develop ambitious project ideas that no single discipline could achieve alone.
Faculty Idea Lab participants will receive priority for future seed funding opportunities from the Cocoziello Institute. This is a chance to have your expertise and interests included as the Institute advances its strategic plan to coordinate a suite of supported research projects around a central, unified theme.
Who: Penn State faculty only
When: Wednesday, December 2, 2026, 12–4 PM, followed by a happy hour from 4–5 PM
Where: Ballroom DE, Nittany Lion Inn
