Congratulations to KieranTimberlake on winning an Honor Award for their Eric J. Barron Innovation Hub project.
The Eric J. Barron Innovation Hub is a thriving nexus for student and community entrepreneurship and collaboration. As Penn State’s first ground-up building in downtown State College, it promotes a culture of inquiry and exploration beyond the confines of campus. In alignment with the University’s enduring ethos of teaching, research, and service, the Innovation Hub is a critical component of Penn State’s entrepreneurial ecosystem, providing resources and opportunities for students across disciplines, as well as local businesses and start-ups throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
The 85,000-square-foot LEED Gold-targeting building features state-of-the-art entrepreneurial and innovation resources, such as rapid prototyping and fabrication labs, public co-working areas, an interactive classroom, top floor meeting spaces with panoramic views, and collaboration commons. These spaces were designed to accelerate innovation and technology commercialization, and to support local start-up companies through knowledge sharing and mentorship.
