Indiana University President Michael McRobbie will share the podium Monday morning with other dignitaries during dedication of IU's new Innovation Center, a business start-up and research facility in Bloomington.
The new home for university researchers and private start-up companies is one of the anchors for a new IU technology corridor developing along the 10th Street site and planned to expand north along the 45/46 Bypass.

The 40,000 square-foot center, located at 2719 E. 10th St., already houses the IU Pervasive Technology Institute (PTI) and will soon provide offices for the Johnson Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation of the IU Kelley School of Business, the IU School of Informatics, and IU Research & Technology Corp. (IURTC) administrators and staff.
The public dedication ceremony will be held at 10 a.m., Monday, Nov. 9, in the University Gymnasium located directly north of the new center, with a reception and tour to follow. For more information please call 317-231-2114 or 812-856-1896.
