Farmingdale State College (FSC) and The Estée Lauder Companies (ELC) have signed a strategic alliance to drive innovation and support for emerging STEM talent across Long Island, New York. As part of the collaboration, ELC has leased approximately 40,000 sq. ft. of laboratory and office space at Broad Hollow Bioscience Park (BHBP), located on the FSC campus.
ELC said it intends to hire talent for more than 30 new scientific R&D roles and in spring 2022 will relocate select teams of employees to the new space at the campus facility.
The collaboration will include an applied learning initiative, which will begin in Fall 2022, and will help prepare students in FSC’s science and engineering programs for potential R&D roles at ELC. It will also include internships and collaborative research activities for FSC students and faculty, adjunct academic opportunities for ELC R&D leaders, and student scholarships.
The Broad Hollow Bioscience Park is located on the campus of Farmingdale State College in New York.
This multifaceted alliance will benefit the greater Long Island region and expand the already significant presence of the global cosmetics company in the area and enable ELC to grow its best-in-class R&D capabilities on Long Island and across New York State, the company said.
The space at BHBP is two miles from Lauder’s skin care, makeup, body, fragrance, basic science and advanced technology R&D labs in Melville, NY.
The arrangement brings to BHBP an anchor tenant focused on research and development, and marks ELC’s first co-location with an academic institution.
The Broad Hollow Bioscience Park is a partnership between Farmingdale State College, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, and the Research Foundation of the State University of New York (SUNY). BHBP is home to various biotech companies.
The new alliance reinforces ELC’s longstanding commitment to investing in and modernizing its Long Island operations and supporting the local communities in New York State.
Lauder, which has been on Long Island for more than 50 years, has thousands of employees across R&D, manufacturing, finance, information technology, and other areas working on its Melville, NY campus. The company has a strong history of hiring SUNY graduates and also has FSC alumni working at the company.
“We are very proud to collaborate with Farmingdale State College and SUNY to further fuel R&D innovation and empower STEM leaders of tomorrow across Long Island and New York State,” said Lisa Napolione, senior vice president, global research and development at The Estée Lauder Companies. “At ELC, our scientists, researchers, engineers, and product developers thrive on combining science, technology and creativity to formulate transformative prestige beauty products. Our collaborations with universities around the world help us stay on the cutting edge and advance our commitment to scientific excellence and delivering the highest quality, breakthrough prestige beauty products to consumers.”
FSC is one of the largest institutions in the State University of New York (SUNY) system. In 2020, the American Society of Engineering Education ranked FSC second nationally in degrees awarded to underrepresented minority students and third nationally in degrees awarded to women.
At ELC, approximately 66% of all STEM positions are held by women and 84% of ELC’s global workforce are women.
