Facility....more than just space!
...we lease a place to grow!
Innovation Park's 12-acre campus is located in an opportunity zone on the south edge of the Notre Dame Campus. Our modern facility features 80,000 square feet of contemporary, collaborative space that energizes problem solving and creativity for the local and regional community.
Pit Road
PIT Road is the place where the rubber meets road! The generation place of new ideas, and new technology! It's the garage where entrepreneurs, advisors, experts, service providers, students,and faculty bump elbows and grease the wheels of new, transformative businesses.
Pit Road offers over 5,000 square feet of shared, open co-working activity that is open to all Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm! It is the location of entrepreneurship education, pitch events, networking events, contests and much more! It is specifically designed to give teams and entrepreneurs the freedom to design that days work space around their work, using modular furniture and mobile white boards.
And when it’s time for a break, there’s room to crash and relax on the comfy sofas for some R&R with video games and ping pong! Plus - when it's time to refuel - fresh food vending and bean-to-brew coffee - provide an onsite option to keep the work of building their business machine moving!

Shared Analytical Laboratory
Opened in late 2010, our 847 square foot shared analytical laboratory on the third floor of Leighton Hall was created to help scientific companies accelerate their growth by providing state of the art preparation and analytical equipment that can be rented on an as needed basis, saving young companies both time and money.
This state-of-the-art lab equipment does everything from detecting NANO (Dwarf) wires to freezing bacteria to a negative 80 degrees Celsius and includes an array of instrumentation including but not limited to: an Explosion-Proof Refrigerator, a Vacuum Oven, an Integral Water Purification System, a Lyophilizer, a Precision Balance, a Zeta Particle Analyzer, an electroflourescnet Microscope, Cell Culture Room with a biosafety hood and more. A comprehensive suite of high end equipment never before accumulated for shared use in this fashion.
Innovation Park is grateful for the Department of Energy grant that provided nearly $750,000 worth of laboratory equipment available for our clients. It is our hope to continue to build an environment where groups of brilliant scientific minds can collaborate with one another to commercialize their scientific discoveries in an effort to forever positively alter the course of mankind.
In addition to the Park's equipment, IPND can offer facilitated access to a full range of mass spectrometry testing and analysis on the campus of the University of Notre Dame - with the expertise to assist with data interpretation, and Title 21 CFR part 11 compliant systems.
