Purdue University's Ray W. Herrick Laboratories, a hub of industry-
oriented research in areas ranging from advanced automotive technologies to "smart" buildings, turns 50 in July with an eye toward the future.

"It isn't easy to balance the needs of industry, academics and basic research, but that's what Purdue has accomplished at Herrick Labs over the past 50 years," said Patricia Davies, Herrick director and a professor of mechanical engineering. "The labs have developed a formula for satisfying the practical requirements of industry without compromising the academic standards of Purdue's faculty and students."
