[edit] UST Global campus
UST Global's campus model.
UST Global's campus model.
UST Global has started its expansion plans in Trivandrum with the construction of an own campus, near Technopark. The proposed campus is spread over 36 acres (150,000 m
2). The campus will also feature a 12-acre (49,000 m
2) waterbody channeling through the various blocks of the campus. The first phase of the campus is expected to be complete by end of 2011.
[7]
Cisco will use its Smart+Connected Real Estate Solution to wire up the campus.
[8] This will converge building, safety, and communications networks onto the open Internet Protocol (IP) standard, streamlining processes by providing a single connection for building management and IT systems. The IP-based network will reduce capital expenditure by simplifying building design and construction, and also enable building managers to reduce carbon footprint and build a sustainable and more energy-efficient environment. This will help the campus achieve a higher rating on the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification.

[edit] Controversy
In early 2008, California arbitrators ruled that US Technology Resources, LLC must pay Stephen J. Ross USD 7.5 million for his founding interest in the company. The company had disputed the extent of Ross's actual contributions. The arbitration award was then confirmed by the Los Angeles Superior Court and judgement entered in Ross' favour.
