Construction & Infrastructure Technology Innovation Center of Excellence (“CITIC”)
The CITIC proposal is an innovative multidisciplinary partnership between Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University (FAMU) core academic schools, government and the private sector that is focused on global sustainable infrastructure development.
The goals of the proposal will be accomplished through the development of innovative construction and infrastructure technology and the involvement of FAMU’s research, science, engineering, architecture, and technology disciplines in conjunction with private and public-sector partners.
Collectively, these entities are committed to putting FAMU on the forefront of 21st-century technologies and directed research to develop sustainable infrastructure.
CITIC is focused on the use of cutting edge technologies and directed research to develop sustainable infrastructure - housing, water/wastewater and power in order to improve disaster recovery, enhance military forward operating bases (FOB) establishment and to create new Science & Technology – based job skills for underrepresented minority populations.
