Kennesaw State University officials recently announced the school has opened a laboratory dedicated to studying consumer and commercial data.

The Equifax Data Science Research Lab is part of the university’s efforts to train students how to translate large, structured and unstructured, complex data into information to improve decision-making. KSU started a doctoral program in 2015 in analytics and data science.

Equifax contributed a $75,000 research grant for the lab.
