Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS) Tuesday unveiled the Harris Global
Innovation Center – a state-of-the-art, interactive technology
showcase.
Harris Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer William
M. Brown opened the 23,000-square-foot center along with Florida
Sen. Bill Nelson and Congressman Bill Posey, representatives from
partner companies and local community leaders.
The high-tech center is part of a $150 million investment Harris
has made over the past three years that created some of the most
advanced facilities in Central Florida – including the Harris
Technology Center in Palm Bay. Within this past year, the company
also added more than 500 high-paying jobs in Central Florida,
with many new-hires coming from Florida colleges and
universities.
The Harris Global Innovation Center includes multi-media
conference rooms, huddle spaces, an atrium café for employees and
visitors, and exterior courtyards – all designed to facilitate
collaboration.
At the heart of the center is an immersive and interactive
experience area that includes stations where visitors can explore
how technology informs, connects and protects customers. Highlights
include a 20-by-7-foot interactive mural, which showcases how
Harris technology touches millions of lives every day; a mission
simulation movie highlighting how technology underpins customers’
missions and a wall of heroes, where warfighters and first
responders share the vital role technology plays in lifesaving
situations.
“We designed the Harris Global Innovation Center to inspire
creative thinking and collaboration. It is a place for customers,
partners and employees from around the world to meet, work and
exchange ideas,” Brown said. “The center also will be accessible to
organizations seeking to foster the next generation of innovators,
serving as a place to inspire students and encourage them to
consider careers in science, technology, engineering and math.”
