Welcome to Caltech's IST

IST (Information Science and Technology) is the first integrated research and teaching activity in the country that investigates information from all angles: from the fundamental theoretical underpinnings of information to the science and engineering of novel information substrates, biological circuits, and complex social systems.

The topping off of the Walter and Leonore Annenberg Center for Information Science and Technology occurred on April 24. The last girder, with the flag and a tree, was hoisted and placed.

Caltech Trustee, Stephen D. Bechtel, Jr., has awarded $1 million to Caltech in support of the final stages of construction of the Walter and Leonore Annenberg Center for Information Science and Technology. The Annenberg Foundation donated $25 million toward the construction of the approximately 50,000-square-foot building, which will serve as home to participants of the IST initiative, an interdisciplinary research and instruction program that addresses the growth and impact of information in nearly every field of science and engineering. Remarks Bechtel, "The collaborative opportunities provided by the Information Science and Technology initiative will support Caltech's effort to find solutions for many of our country's challenges," adds Bechtel. "I'm honored to be a partner in this effort." Read more...
