Big forks in the road on incubator models:• Focus: Focused on a single topic/market (like bioscience), or mixed
(entrepreneurship school, small business development center)?• Program spaces: Strictly a working environment, vs work and classroom,
vs live/work/play 24hr immersive?• Location: On a university campus vs within a business/industry area?• Faculty: professors, entrepreneurs, subject matter experts, mix?• Learning modes: what types of learning and doing are supported within
the incubator vs happen elsewhere?

Incubator space 2013 to early 2016 (2nd generation)
2016 Redesign GoalsTighter integration of Baiada with the Close School (physically and programmatically)
Increase number of seats (without increasing ~4800 square footage)
Increase density of seating to enable more “collisions”
More of a co-working “startup feel” – open, visual, 24x7
Writing surfaces everywhere
Provide for resident and early stage (flex) startups
Reduce reliance on collaboration rooms
More workspace for hardware startups
Community manager central in the space
Lessons learnedPOSITIVE ELEMENTS
◦ Space is more utilized than prior◦ More interactions among startups ◦ Underclassmen more visibly interacting
with upperclassmen and alums◦ Significant use of writing surfaces and
movable whiteboards◦ Acceptable use of collaboration rooms ◦ Able to accept more startups including
flex (early stage)
THINGS WE SHOULD HAVE DONE
◦ Lack of proper space for mentors◦ Nap pod ◦ Lack of dedicated maker space
Education + Space = Benefits Incubator affords us the opportunity to extend learning from the classroom to our physical space (real-time lab)
Underclassmen get the benefit of seeing entrepreneurship in action
Upperclassmen / alums get the benefit of identifying new talent
Faculty get the benefit of being closer to the action
Potential students and donors see the possibilities in action
