The Papé Family Innovation Center

The first of two Papé Family Innovation Center facilities is located in the current Knight Campus building. The first offers a pragmatic mix of meeting spaces, wet lab benches, and procedure rooms—precisely what researchers need to translate scientific discoveries into practical applications. The second will be part of the next phase of construction and will offer individual modules that companies can lease, offering flexibility for different kinds of startups. Together, they are designed with one purpose: to expedite scientific entrepreneurship.

Spaces are currently available for lease. For more information, click on the link below or email us at KCinnovation@uoregon.edu
