The University is preparing for the opening of the Dave & Patsy Rommel Center for Entrepreneurship. While supporting the revitalization of the downtown Salisbury economy, the envisioned Center will include: - Shared co-working space.
- Small offices and “garages” for startups and winners of the Perdue School entrepreneurship competitions.
- A "makerspace" for robotics, small product assembly and technology-enhanced products with 3D prototyping, including a textile workshop for fashion and theatre productions.
- A “wet lab” geared toward wet science startups such as agriculture, aquaculture, medtech and biotech.
- A retail storefront for products developed through the Center.
