Alameda, Calif.
The Alameda Center for Environmental Technologies (ACET) is seeking U.S. Department of Commerce approval and funding for a $6-million expansion of its facilities at the former Alameda Naval Air Station. The independent incubator was founded in the early 1990's by CSU-Hayward and the U.S. Department of Commerce and currently provides below-market rents for 15,000 sf of chemistry labs and meeting facilities. ACET plans to expand its lab space from 8,800 sf to over 30,000 sf, quadrupling its lab facilities over the next two years.
