Creative Spaces and Places
Spring Training 2015 | Tempe Arizona | March 9-13
|
Creating a park environment which enables companies to thrive takes attention to the physical aspects of design, but so much more. Spaces that fulfill the need for concentration and yet spark collaboration are a mixture of physical design and programmatic brilliance. Learn the secrets of place-making for creativity and why outstanding creative places start with a creative person ---- you.
We'll hear from:
- Emily Allen,
 a Director and Licensed Interior Designer at Dekker/Perich/Sabatini. Emily brings nearly a decade of creative and innovative interior design practice to her work. Her broad range of experience provides her the opportunity to approach each project with a comprehensive perspective that results in distinctive, thoughtfully designed spaces. - Scott Henderson,
 the Connector of Awesomeness at Sandbox Communities. Scott helps organizations attract and engage audiences by using physical places, events and media to create shared experiences. One of his current projects includes creating a stronger community identity for Atlanta's Tech Square.

A view inside the Phase II building at University of Delaware's STAR Campus on Del. 896. The building is to house 10,000 square fee of space for wet labs.
|
The Delaware Technology Park will build a 10,000-square-foot wet lab at the University of Delaware's science and technology campus with the help of a $3 million, 10-year state loan that officials say will serve as an "incubator" that launches promising small research companies on pathways to viability.
The wet lab, which can be subdivided into tiny lab spaces, will be located on the first floor of the new "Phase II" building at UD's Science, Technology and Advanced Research adjunct campus, known as STAR. It will be devoted to hosting what park president Mike Bowman called 10 to 12 "early stage" life sciences companies that he hopes will begin to flourish, outgrow their spaces and become significant contributors to the state economy, leaving room for others to move and hopefully repeat that success.
