Construction is beginning on the 10-story, 120,000-square-foot STAR Tower, located on UD’s Science, Technology and Advanced Research (STAR) Campus, to serve as a home for high-tech businesses as well as several College of Health Sciences programs.
STAR Campus’ new incubator space will be home to 12 of the region’s most promising start-up businesses. Called DPT@STAR and funded by a $3 million loan investment from the state, the 10,000-square-foot space will have prized “wet” labs, office spaces and opportunities for advanced research collaborations among industry, faculty and students. The tenants of the new Delaware Technology Park represent a mix of spinoffs evolved directly from UD research and outside entrepreneurs in life sciences, agriculture and materials science—all historical strengths for the University.
