This project provides for the construction of up to 400,000 square foot, mixed-use facility – currently named the Institute for Digital Innovation (IDIA) and associated parking that will support research, innovation, and workforce development for Commonwealth employers whose mission and competitive advantages rely on access to world-class tech talent. The building includes academic facilities supporting the university’s new School of Computing such as classrooms, instructional labs, and offices, as well as facilities that house, for example, accelerator/innovation and co-working programs, corporate innovation labs, conference and convening spaces, ground level retail, and residences.
