(NASDAQ: VIEW) (“View”), the leader in smart building technologies, announced its Smart Windows are being installed at the brand-new Martire Family Arena at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Connecticut. The state-of-the-art facility will be the future home of Sacred Heart’s men’s and women’s NCAA Division I hockey programs, club hockey programs and the university’s nationally ranked figure skating team.
