The center provides opportunities to learn marketable innovation & leadership skills, and exposes students, staff and faculty to the principles of entrepreneurship. The space also creates an on-campus focal point for innovators, entrepreneurs, and startups as well as leveraging and growing existing networks of partners, investors, alumni, mentors and other community assets to support youth-led ventures.</p> <p> </p> <p>The space features a large reception area with sofas and chairs to accommodate events and promote networking. A large open space equipped with co-working and designated workspaces is available for students and start-ups. Three seminar rooms for closed door meetings: two smaller spaces that can be used for teleconferences and small group meetings (less than 10 people) with an LCD monitor and whiteboards as well as one larger space (10-20 people) equipped with an wall mounted LCD monitor, audio/video conference resources and whiteboards. There is also an experiential learning space in the Makerspace.
