$5 Million+ Renovation Underway at Oldest Incubator in the UCF Business Incubation Program in Central Fla. Research Park

ORLANDO, Fla.  – Construction is underway on a $5 Million plus renovation project of the 50,000 square feet UCF Business Incubator in the Central Florida Research Park. 

Carol Ann Dykes, site manager for the Research Park incubator, said the facility, established in 1999, is getting a major upgrade and has undergone six months of a 13-month large-scale renovation project slated for completion in February of next year. 

“These facilities are some of the older buildings in Research Park and most of the life safety, telecommunications, electrical, lighting and HVAC systems are outdated.  In addition, the internal configuration of the buildings has not been well suited for use as an incubator and we now have the opportunity to fix that.” Dykes said.

The work also includes the build-out of five much needed chemical wet labs and additional work spaces for companies that need to set up assembly and/or workstations.

“We are fortunate to have an amazing team from UCF Facilities as well as the general contractor Wharton Smith.  Everyone has gone above and beyond to make this project as smooth as possible for our clients who are occupying the facilities during the renovations.”

Currently the Research Park incubator houses over 45 early stage and Soft Landing technology client companies.
