The new Bio Innovation Center opened in February, 2008. It is located on the fifth floor of Building Two of the UMB BioPark on the campus of the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB). The Bio Innovation Center is an ideal environment for companies that require their own dedicated wet lab and/or office space, but may not be ready to build out their own space or commit to a long-term lease. The Bio Innovation Center enables companies to expedite their time to market while conserving capital expenditures through: rapid move-in with pre-built lab and office space; flexible leasing terms; savings due to shared equipment room; professional atmosphere with access to shared conference room; immediate phone and internet connectivity. Bio Innovation Center companies can readily interact with the entrepreneurially-charged research faculty of the University of Maryland, Baltimore – a leading public research university and medical center – and other life science companies in a collegial environment with high-level business and legal services available and the research resources of the University nearby.
