The State University of New York board of trustees on Tuesday voted unanimously to approve SUNY Polytechnic Institute as the new name for the recently merged SUNY College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering and the SUNY Institute of Technology.

The institute operates the Photovoltaic Manufacturing and Technology Development Facility in Greece and the Smart System Technology and Commercialization Center in Canandaigua, Ontario County.

On March 19 the SUNY board unanimously approved SUNY Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher's merger recommendation.

SUNY Poly offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in nanoscience, nanoengineering, nanobioscience and nanoeconomics at its Albany campus. At the Utica/Rome campus, programs include cybersecurity, computer science, engineering technologies, business, communication, nursing and the arts and sciences.

In addition to its facilities in western New York, the institute operates the Smart Cities Technology Innovation Center in Albany and the Solar Energy Development Center in Halfmoon. SUNY Poly manages the Computer Chip Commercialization Center on its Utica campus, and is lead developer of the Marcy Nanocenter site, as well as the Buffalo High-Tech Manufacturing Complex, Buffalo Information Technologies Innovation and Commercialization Hub, and Medical Innovation and Commercialization Hub.
