The Vision
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.
