Tyre maker MRF Limited has contributed ₹26.09 crore to establish an innovation park inside the 183-year-old Madras Christian College (MCC) in Tambaram.
Called the MCC-MRF Innovation Park, the centre will be up and operational in the next year in a proposed built-up area of around 70,000 sq ft. The park seeks to set up collaborative spaces that would facilitate interdisciplinary, multi-disciplinary and trans-disciplinary innovations. P. Wilson, principal and secretary, Madras Christian College, said a lot of research had gone into the development of the park and teams from the college had visited other institutions like the IIT-Madras Research Park to understand how such centres worked. The principal also pointed out that the college would ensure that trees were retained while constructing this park. “The first floor has been designed to host computer-based infrastructure, including a data analytics lab, a computational science lab, a psychometric lab, a media science lab and an instrumentation lab,” he said.
