Value Proposition of Research Parks as Drivers of Innovation Districts

+ Innovation Districts combine the economic driver of talent and innovation with the powerful real estate trend of live/work/play enabled by transit and walkability In this way, Innovation Districts are likely to be more than the sum of their parts:

INNOVATION

DISTRICTS

REAL ESTATE DRIVERS

ECONOMIC DRIVER OF TALENT AND INNOVATION

Advancing Innovation in Research Park Complexes

+ In today’s global knowledge-based economy, physical environments matter in

attracting talent, industry and furthering innovation

+ The opportunities of a research park existing within “communities of

innovation”

Research Park

Community Assets

Land Use Mix in Leading Innovation Districts

+ Creates a “sense of place” and networking infrastructure for the

+ technology business community

+ Provides a resource-rich environment for emerging and new ventures

+ Enables better linkages/alignment of university/federal labs/industries

+ Leverages access to talent pools

+ Potential for shared facilities and resources

Land use mix

Broader impacts expected from key trend in the physical development of Research Parks—shift to “Live-Work-Play”

+ 2012 only 6% of university research parks are fully “mixed use” having

food/restaurant, retail and housing

+ Within 5 Years, 21% of existing research parks expect to be fully mixed use

+ Implications: science parks transforming into “hubs” for place-based

development strategies

INTEGRATED

Be a critical part of the local and regional community No great tech center is an island, and the very best are

integral to the life of their community

COLLABORATIVE

Create spaces that enable people to work

together if they want to; collaboration

happens in offices, but the best collaborative

opportunities often exist outside the lab in

places like cafes and parks

MULTI – DIMENSIONAL

Do not overspecialize in one thing at the

exclusion of all else Successful tech centers are

homes to labs, offices, educational institutions as

well as businesses that are not at the core of the

scientific mission but buoy it nonetheless

INTERCONNECTED

Connect buildings to other buildings and public spaces with a network of streets and pedestrian walkways - everything is linked

together

Culture

+ Activating the vision to guide economic and physical success
