The program is focused on collaboration and flexibility—relying on designed informal spaces throughout each floor to encourage students and faculty with unstructured meeting areas where ideas can flourish.

Financial Technology is an expanding and evolving landscape that reimagines financial services for consumers, households, and companies with systems such as blockchain and artificial intelligence. It merges finance with data – bringing together students and faculty from business, computer science, and engineering to collaborate in research and practical applications. The University of Delaware has committed three floors of a newly-developed building on their STAR Campus to unite the College of Engineering and the Lerner College of Business and Economics in spaces dedicated for Fintech study and entrepreneurship.
