Publication chronicles first 15 years of University Research Park
University Research Park in Madison
today announced that it has published "The First Fifteen Years:
1984-1999" a retrospective about the award-winning research
park.
The non-profit research and technology
park was established in 1984 and now is home to more than 114
companies that employ more than 4,000 people. Many of the companies
are the result of research done at UW-Madison. It contributes more
than $680 million each year to the state's economy.
University Research Park has 34
buildings with more than 1.5 million square feet of office and
laboratory space used by a broad range of companies, many of which
are focused on biotechnology.
The publication written by Arthur Hove
spotlights the efforts that brought the park from idea to reality,
and subsequently earned it the Outstanding Research Park Award from
the International Association of University Related Research Parks
in 1996.
