Maryland got an infusion of West Coast tech money recently. It’s going toward a new spot for College Park students to study the latest in digital technology.
Oculus CEO Brendan Iribe provided $31 million to the University of Maryland College Park. The 36-year-old’s name is now on the school’s new Center for Computer Science and Innovation. Iribe’s fellow cofounders are also included in the naming of the center, who gave a combined $7 million. It will include the 300-seat Michael Antonov Auditorium and a rooftop garden called Andrew Reisse Park.
