The University of Arizona Steward Observatory celebrates 5 years at UA Tech Park this year, 2024, marking a significant milestone. Over the past half-decade, the observatory has made remarkable strides in advancing electrical-optical research and development. Steward is a key partner in the construction of the Giant Magellan Telescope —a next-generation optical observatory that will be one of the largest in the world, designed to explore the cosmos with unprecedented clarity. Steward Observatory’s ongoing success at UA Tech Park exemplifies the powerful synergy between research and industry that defines our community. Tech Parks is proud to support their innovative work and look forward to seeing how their recent expansion accelerates their contributions to cutting-edge research and scientific exploration.
