Two Technology Parks Open For Business in 2007 at
Norfolk State University & Old Domionion University - with amazing possiblitities for collaboration.
The first of each of the technology park buildings are almost complete and tenants are being announced.
Innovation Research Park: The first of what may be 5 buildings on the campus opens April 2007.
One of the advantages of locating in the 4111 Monarch Way building is the proximity to Old Dominion University’s intellectual and human capital, research infrastructure and quality of life amenities. Currently, the following research groups from ODU will call the 4111 Monarch Way building home:
Virginia Applied Technology and Professional Development Center provides cost effective, consulting services to a wide-range of manufacturing and service-based organizations. The center also provides quality, performance-based programs to support the professional development requirements of the engineer and technical professional.
National Center for Systems of Systems Engineering is a collection of independent, nonprofit, engineering research and application organizations, government entities and universities that have joined together with a common goal to solve problems, develop technologies and direct research on critical issues related to the integration of complex systems.
Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport (MARS) is a full-service, FAA-licensed spaceport. The Commonwealth-owned spaceport is located on the NASA Wallops Flight Facility on Virginia’s Eastern Shore, an ideal site for access to the International Space Station. MARS provides low-cost access to mid-inclination and sun synchronous orbits for small- to medium-class expendable launch vehicles with payloads up to 12,000 pounds.
Center for Coastal and Physical Oceanography promotes research on the physical oceanography of the coastal ocean and related oceanographic processes.
Computational Intelligence and Machine Vision Laboratory develops new algorithms and architectures for real-time applications in the areas of signal processing, image processing, computer vision, pattern recognition, artificial neural networks and bio-mimetic object-vision recognition.
Lean Manufacturer Institute was established to find solutions for issues related to enterprise productivity. The Institute also addresses issues related to other business functions such as supply chain logistics, technology management, human resources, design and contracting.
Center for Advanced Ship Repair and Maintenance works to make ship repair and operations more cost effective, while meeting or exceeding environmental requirements for a variety of maritime-focused operators.
Office of Spatial and Cartographic Information utilizes latest engineering technologies in land use planning, surveying and civil engineering.
Norfolk State University's RISE Campus will feature up to 6 buildings when the full build-out of this 25-acre research and high-technology business park is complete. This full build-out will be realized as a result of highly strategic private/public partnerships - such as those generated from having one of the nation’s largest concentrations of active duty military personnel and home to the world’s largest naval base, Hampton Roads serves as a focal point for defense-related and security operations. The RISE Campus™ offers government agencies such as the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security proximity to world-
class researchers, graduate-level students, and high-technology assets within a highly secured environment. The RISE Campus™ is located within an Empowerment Zone/Enterprise Community, HubZone, and a Hope VI community. All of the state and federal benefits, such as New Market Tax Credits, associated with this venue can be realized by businesses that locate on this 25-acre applied research and technology campus.
The campus’ first research facility, the Marie V. McDemmond Center for Applied Research is a State-owned, six-story, approximately 135,000-square-foot structure, and it will be the anchor for applied research, graduate-level education, and training for the workforce of the future in science, engineering, and technology. Construction on this state-of-the-art facility began during December of 2004 and is scheduled for completion by the end of this year. The campus also contains the RISE SuperNodeSM which provides premier regional access to all major Points-of-Presence (gigaPOPs). The RISE SuperNodeSM is a private synchronous optical network (SONET) with ultra-high capacity, fault-tolerant design, supporting speeds from 1.5 megabits per second (DS-1) up through multiple 10 Gbps (10,000 megabits per second) Lightwave networks. Its design incorporates redundant connectivity and reliable backup power in a highly secured environment.
