    Driven by rapid advances in technology, the focus on infrastructure is expanding beyond roads and bridges to include a wide range of infrastructure to support R&D and innovation. This spans the modernization of existing public and academic laboratory facilities to meeting the skyrocketing need for computing power for AI, to physical places that foster the collaboration between industry and the research community that drives innovation.
