National Science Foundation Director Sethuraman Panchanathan celebrated “a reflection of excellence” as he joined Northeastern President Joseph E. Aoun, Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and members of the state’s congressional delegation to officially open the university’s new EXP research complex on Monday.
“This EXP building is an exciting place — that’s what EXP stands for,” Panchanathan said during a ceremony on the Boston campus. “It’s truly an example of what our nation needs all across our nation.
“Because it is going to make excellent progress — excellent progress for solving societal problems, economic issues, as well as national security issues. This truly is a reflection of excellence.”
