The HUB building has several labs to support incubator companies. Several researchers at TTUHSC have pointed out that the setting of the labs at HUB is not suitable for their purposes, and also the fees to use the lab is too high relative to the incubators at other universities. This initiative is to discuss these issues with TTU and HUB and to make HUB more accessible for TTUHSC researchers.
SVPRI has joined the Texas Tech Research Park Board and discussions are underway to expand infrastructure to support "bench" research in a new facility that will include both faculty and private industry tenants.
