Our team is so happy to have met with so many of you over these last few weeks of the summer season at the many celebrations in our community. From New Albany’s Juneteenth celebration, to hands-on STEM activities with 4-H Cloverbuds at Camp Ohio, the Franklin Park Conservatory Flutter Run and so much more, we’ve been enjoying the sunshine and all of the natural beauty Ohio has to offer.
Today we are excited to tune in to the Opening Ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics. Intel is a sponsor of the Olympics, and we were thrilled to help hold a sendoff party for Morelle McCane in Cleveland. As the first woman boxer from Cleveland to qualify for the Olympics, we are all cheering her on.
We also recently celebrated the delivery of our first two cold boxes, some of the largest pieces of equipment for our new facility. All the superloads have made the journey from Manchester in Adams County to the Ohio One campus in New Albany, Licking County.
Did you know that Intel technology is helping Ohio State enhance the fan experience at the Ohio Stadium? This month I learned all about how they are using artificial intelligence to reduce wait times, modernize the stadium experience, and keep people better connected.
Finally, we are happy to have spent the last few days of this month at the Ohio State Fair. This year we brought some incredible hands-on technology experiences and have highlighted Intel’s contributions to space exploration.
As we look forward to August, you can catch us at the Hartford Fair and the Johnstown Farmer’s Market, and many other places. We hope to see you soon!
Read on for more details about our most recent Intel in Ohio updates.

Intel at the Olympic Games | |
|
Ohio also has a proud history of producing athletic trailblazers from track legends Jesse Owens and Stephanie Hightower to sensational gymnasts Blaine Wilson, Gabby Douglas and the G.O.A.T Simone Biles to basketball superstar Lebron James and so many more. We’ll be watching online and cheering for the more than 40 athletes with ties to Ohio that will be competing this year.
We had the opportunity to meet Morelle McCane, another Ohioan making history. Mo is the first woman boxer from Cleveland to qualify for the Olympics. To celebrate this important moment, Intel’s Chief Legal Officer April Miller Boise, a proud Cleveland native, came together with Benesch Partner Marisa Darden, The Cleveland Foundation Board of Directors Chairperson Constance Hill-Johnson and The Soul of Philanthropy Cleveland to celebrate Mo as she makes state history at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.
The athletes' stories of resilience and triumph inspire millions around the globe, reminding us of the power of the human spirit and determination. And the Olympic games provide a platform where the world's best athletes showcase their talents and hard work. By supporting the Olympics, we are encouraging people everywhere to dream big, to strive for excellence, and to understand that with hard work and dedication, anything is possible.
Fun Fact: Intel’s campus was named Ohio One as a nod to the state's long proud history of producing firsts; from Jerrie Mock’s solo flight, to John Glenn’s orbit, to Neil Armstrong’s giant leap, to the many Ohio athletes who have made history for their accomplishments.

Celebrating our Superload Deliveries | |
|
We celebrated the deliveries of two of the four ASU cold boxes. Each cold box, topping the scales at over 900,000 pounds and measuring about the size of a football field, made their way by barge on the Ohio River and were loaded onto trucks from a port in Adams County and then traveled to Intel’s Ohio One campus in Licking County.
The third cold box is expected to arrive to the Intel campus during the last week of July and the fourth and final delivery should arrive mid-August. The schedule of each of the loads is checked against local events, like festivals and fairs to further minimize impacts. You can find more information at transportation.ohio.gov/superload.
We extend a heartfelt thank you to the Ohio Department of Transportation, State Highway Patrol and the many towns and cities that collaborated to ensure the safe delivery of Intel’s equipment from Manchester, Adams County to the Ohio One campus in New Albany, Licking County.

The skyline will soon change with the addition of two new cranes on Intel’s Ohio One campus. These crawler cranes will be tall and yellow. We’ve affectionally nicknamed them, “Big Birds” because they are tall and bright!
Later in the construction process, we will add another tall crane. While it will be about the same height as the other two tall cranes, this powerful crane will have the capacity to lift more weight. This crane will be named by the kids in the community through Intel’s “name-the-crane” program.
Learn more about a similar, but larger, crane at Intel’s campus in Arizona, affectionately dubbed "Skyreacher" by local elementary school students.

Intel Inside: Ohio State's AI Play for Speedier Stadium Visits | |
Ohio State University is leveraging AI-driven analytics to enhance the experience for fans attending football games and other events at Ohio Stadium. By using location-based video cameras and AI-powered crowd intelligence software, the university aims to reduce wait times for concessions, restrooms, and entry points. Fans will soon be able to use a mobile app to identify the shortest lines, thanks to real-time data provided by the technology. | |
|
This initiative is part of a broader effort to modernize the stadium experience, which includes improvements to Wi-Fi infrastructure, mobile ticketing, and cashless payments.
The technical infrastructure supporting this crowd management initiative includes AI-based software from WaitTime, video cameras from Axis Communications, and powerful Dell servers to process the data.

The technical infrastructure supporting this crowd management initiative includes AI-based software from WaitTime, video cameras from Axis Communications, and powerful Dell servers to process the data. Ohio State's athletics department, in collaboration with CDW Education, has installed cameras at strategic points throughout the stadium to monitor and analyze crowd behavior. The system was tested for accuracy during the 2023 season, with the goal of using the data to streamline operations and enhance the fan experience.
Looking ahead, Ohio State plans to roll out the guest-facing features of the technology, allowing fans to make informed decisions about when and where to access services during events. The app will display wait times with a color-coded system, indicating the length of lines at various stadium locations. This innovation not only promises to improve the fan experience but also demonstrates how higher education institutions can utilize crowd intelligence software for various campus services, optimizing operations and traffic flow across different facilities.

We’re grateful to have supported the City of New Albany’s Juneteenth celebration because it aligns with our RISE goals. Intel is also committed to diversity and inclusion beyond its workforce to our suppliers globally. In 2022, we reached our 2030 RISE goal to increase annual spending to $2 billion globally. We also achieved two 2023 milestone goals focused on spending with minority-owned suppliers globally and U.S. Black-owned suppliers, and are on track to reach a 2025 milestone focused on women-owned suppliers outside the U.S. While we are proud of this achievement, we are not done yet. We remain committed to staying on track with a solid diverse and inclusive supply chain focus through 2030 and beyond. We report progress toward our goals in our annual Corporate Responsibility Report.
We wrapped up June at the Franklin Park Conservatory’s Flutter Run where we celebrated the Blooms & Butterflies exhibit and featured pollinators from start to finish. This event was important to us because Intel has been a leader in sustainable semiconductor manufacturing for decades, which includes the exterior designs of our campuses around the world. Like the Franklin Park Conservatory, we love butterflies, bees and other pollinators. This video rendering shows what the Intel Ohio One campus will look like once complete including pollinator plants, wetlands, and thousands of native trees which will provide biodiverse habitats for wildlife.
Encouraging students to explore STEM activities is part of Intel’s longstanding commitment to volunteering and education. So, we had a great time hosting hands-on STEAM activities at Johnstown Farmer’s Markets, Cloverbud and 4H camps, and Alexandria Fun Days.
