Events Raw Space

The Innovation and Research Park

The Innovation and Research Park is a fertile environment for collaboration and creativity among academic and industry scientists, innovators and entrepreneurs. The 100,000 square feet of laboratory and office space encourages interaction, the free exchange of ideas and a sharing of expertise and scientific tools. Of that space, two-thirds are allocated to Rosalind Franklin University research labs, while one-third is available to industries and startups. Each floor of the new building includes a shared “collision space” to facilitate conversation and collaboration between researchers and industry.
