Purpose: Construction of a new St. Mary's University facility called the Innovation Center and to equip laboratories related to advanced manufacturing including robotics and smart manufacturing; measurement and instrumentation; human factors; additive manufacturing and reverse engineering; data science and machine learning; innovation, entrepreneurship, and supply chain; and an engineering design studio.

Activities to be performed: The Innovation Center is a new building that will support advanced manufacturing research; undergraduate and graduate instruction across a range of engineering, computing, and other STEM disciplines, and industrial/community outreach in numerous engineering, computing, and related STEM disciplines.

Expected outcomes: The facility will support STEM outreach and impact 300-500 students each year through facility tours, workshops, and camps. In addition, the resources of the center will be made available to the local manufacturing base for projects, training, and technology demonstration.

Intended beneficiaries: The project will directly serve the entire engineering student body, computing students including those in data science and cybersecurity, and students from other disciplines who are able to use any of the facilities to support their education and research projects. St. Mary's University anticipates this number to be 300-400 unduplicated students each year. St. Mary's University also anticipates 25-30 faculty members using the facility each year. About 50-60 students will use the facility for senior/capstone projects and honors theses and graduate projects and theses.
